Dolby's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Dolby Laboratories reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 65,100,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 651,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 3,625,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and a significant 58,824,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). The Scope 3 emissions are primarily driven by purchased goods and services (36,775,000 kg CO2e) and the use of sold products (22,035,000 kg CO2e). Dolby has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 65% by 2030 from a FY2019 baseline. Additionally, they plan to reduce Scope 3 emissions from fuel-and-energy-related activities and business travel by 30% within the same timeframe. Notably, Dolby is striving to achieve 100% renewable electricity for its operations by 2025, which is crucial for mitigating Scope 2 emissions. The company is also focused on engaging its supply chain, with a target that 58% of its suppliers by emissions will have science-based targets by 2027. These initiatives reflect Dolby's commitment to sustainability and its alignment with industry standards for climate action.
