ESG criteria help us measure our impact on the environment, in the community and overall governance of our organization. Environmentally, we measure our footprint and risk, including factors such as carbon emissions, water pollution and stewardship. Socially, we focus on diversity and inclusion, community relations and customer success. From a governance perspective, we implement best practices for initiatives such as hiring and onboarding employees, diversifying our Board and contributing to external organizations. Noblis is dedicated to prioritizing ESG initiatives to positively impact our organization, community and Nation.

As a non-profit organization and one of the world’s most ethical companies, Noblis focuses on doing what’s right in every situation. With that, we have taken steps to formalize our ESG initiatives. We are aware of climate issues and impacts and are developing science-based carbon reduction targets and prioritizing our Noblis Sponsored Research ideation for climate innovations to continuously improve our global impacts.

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Data

We are working to set science-based reduction targets by 2025 and reach net-zero emissions by 2050. With this, we are committed to reporting our progress on these goals. The data below reflects Noblis’ emission data for fiscal year (FY)21 and FY22. GHG emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3) were calculated in accordance with the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.
