Carbon Footprint Assessment and environmental certification

Annual Climate Footprint Assessments of our environmental impact 

As of 2018, Knowit performs a GHG emission disclosure annually, to understand how its climate-related footprint is developing and which measures are needed to reach the targets set. The reporting is done in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol), an international reporting standard for calculating and reporting on an operation’s climate impact. In 2025, Knowit’s CO2e emissions remained below the emission curve for the Company’s science-based emission targets.

In one area, our emissions in 2025 exceed those in 2024. This is business travel. In one area, our emissions have decreased dramatically. This is commuting, as teleworking has increased. We have also managed to decrease our emissions from goods and services purchased. During the pandemic, Knowit’s employees and projects developed new methods for communication, internally and with clients, which enabled successful teleworking. However, since the pandemic, business travel has increased again.

During 2025, the Company emitted 1.35 tons CO2e per employee and Knowit remains in line with the targets set for the Company’s total emissions. To create the conditions for succeeding with our emission targets in the long term, we have now started to review the emissions from our commutes and ensuring that Knowit’s material suppliers have climate ambitions that are aligned with or exceed Knowit’s. The easiest way for us to decrease our emissions in the supply chain is to ensure that as many as possible of Knowit’s suppliers have their own approved Science-Based Targets. All of Knowit’s material suppliers have received a survey with a number of questions on their climate work and climate ambitions. 

The Company has delayed in setting Net Zero targets as we have perceived there to be uncertainties in SBTi’s wok with establishing their Corporate Net Zero Standard. As the standard is now in place, Knowit plans to set long-term targets for the Company’s CO₂e emissions in accordance with the standard during 2026. These targets are intended to supplement the Company’s existing target of halving the Group’s CO₂e emissions by 2030, with a new long-term target on emission decreases by 2045, along with a plan for how any remaining CO₂e emissions are to be managed.

Environmental certification under ISO 14001:2015

It is important for us to combine the needs and requirements of our clients with our environmental knowledge. Therefore, we continually educate ourselves in environmental issues. Parts of Knowit are environmentally certified in accordance with ISO 14001:2015.
