Key Terms

scope 1, scope 3, science based targets initiative, net-zero greenhouse gas emissions

4 terms

scope 1 technical

"Reduced scope 1, 2 (market-based) and applicable* scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions"

Scope 1 are the greenhouse gas emissions a company produces directly from sources it owns or controls, like fuel burned in company vehicles, boilers, or on-site factories. Think of it as the smoke coming out of a business’s own chimney versus electricity it buys from the grid. Investors watch Scope 1 because these direct emissions can create regulatory costs, operational changes, and reputational risks that affect profitability and long-term value.

scope 3 technical

"applicable* scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 34% against the fiscal 2023 baseline"

Scope 3 describes all greenhouse gas emissions that occur upstream and downstream of a company’s direct operations—things like emissions from suppliers, transportation, product use, and disposal. Think of it as the hidden carbon footprint tied to everything a business buys, sells, or enables; it matters to investors because these indirect emissions can drive regulatory costs, supply-chain disruption, consumer preference shifts, and long-term valuation risk that aren’t visible on a company’s factory floor or utility bill.

science based targets initiative technical

"advancing toward Kyndryl's Science Based Targets initiative-validated 2030 goals"

A global nonprofit program that helps companies set and verify greenhouse gas reduction targets that match what climate science says is needed to avoid dangerous warming. Think of it like a certified road map and stamp of approval showing a company has a credible plan to cut emissions; investors use it as a shorthand for firms likely to manage climate risks, regulatory changes, and future costs better than peers without such verified plans.

net-zero greenhouse gas emissions technical

"ambition to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040"

Net-zero greenhouse gas emissions means a company, country, or activity balances the amount of climate-warming gases it releases with the amount it removes or offsets, so the net addition to the atmosphere is zero. Think of it as balancing a checkbook for emissions: all outgoing “charges” are matched by reductions or removals. Investors care because achieving net-zero can affect future costs, regulatory risk, access to capital, consumer demand and long-term asset values.
