Hunt Valley, Maryland (23 September 2024)—EA has released its 2023 Carbon Footprint Report. EA’s emissions analysis, first published in 2009, is developed in accordance with World Resources Institute protocols—the most widely used industry standard for calculating and reporting on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The report outlines enterprise-level carbon emissions, reductions, and purchased offsets, and provides valuable insights for creating a roadmap for continuous operational improvement to analyze and understand primary emissions sources year-over-year.
“As a 100% employee-owned public benefit corporation committed to addressing our clients’ environmental challenges, EA’s annual carbon footprint analysis highlights the steps we are taking to evaluate our operational impacts,” said Brian Lesinski, Executive Vice President and Director, Corporate Social Responsibility. “By prioritizing transparency and comprehensive data collection across our value chain, we are better equipped to understand and monitor our role in climate action.”
EA’s total carbon footprint in calendar year 2023 is estimated at 22,590 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (commonly represented as MTCO2e). This represents a 9.9 percent decrease from 2022, which is primarily attributed to refinements in Scope 3 (supply chain) emissions calculation methodologies. EA uses the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Center for Corporate Climate Leadership’s Simplified GHG Emissions Calculator to support value chain calculations.
EA’s top three emissions sources in 2023 were associated with Scope 3 emissions categories, and include (percent of EA’s gross emissions noted for each):
- Purchased Goods and Services (66 percent)
- Fuel and Energy-Related Activities (16 percent)
- Employee Business Travel (4 percent)
Approximately 5.5 percent of EA’s carbon footprint was offset through purchased offsets, including 100 percent offset of EA’s Scope 2 (leased energy) emissions through Green-e®-certified Renewable Energy Certificates.
