ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, is proud to announce the publication of its 2023 Carbon Footprint Report. This comprehensive report underscores ESET’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and environmental sustainability, reflecting the company’s ongoing efforts to mitigate its environmental impact and progress towards a zero-carbon future. The report reveals that ESET’s total carbon footprint for 2023 is 8,146.34 tonnes CO2e using the site-based method and 7,835.06 tonnes CO2e using the market-based method. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per employee amount to 3.38 tonnes CO2e. The majority of the total carbon footprint comes from indirect emissions within ESET’s value chain (Scope 3), accounting for 79 % of total emissions.

Compared to 2022, ESET Group's total greenhouse gas emissions increased by 25 %, while greenhouse gas emissions per employee increased by 16 %. The increase is attributed to the inclusion of additional offices previously excluded from data collection, increased business travel attributed to significant and permanent changes in how businesses operate caused by adjustments made during the COVID-19 pandemic, an increase in the number of employees (by 7 %), as well as a return to offices in most locations and overall more accurate data collection year-on-year.
