The Scope 3 emissions are primarily driven by purchased goods and services (about 36,775,000 kg CO2e) and business travel (approximately 9,723,000 kg CO2e). For 2023, Dolby's total emissions were about 83,980,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 975,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at 4,592,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching approximately 83,005,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial reliance on Scope 3 emissions, particularly from the use of sold products (about 31,458,000 kg CO2e). Dolby has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 65% by FY2030 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 by 2025, which is critical for reducing emissions from their operations. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and reflect Dolby's commitment to sustainability and climate action. The company also aims for 58% of its suppliers, covering purchased goods and services and capital goods, to have science-based targets by FY2027.
