Company showcases measurable progress in climate impact, resource circularity, supply chain resilience, and workforce diversity
Stratasys Ltd. today released its fourth annual Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and Sustainability Report, showcasing significant progress in Mindful Manufacturing™ principles and reinforcing its leadership role in advancing sustainable, next-generation manufacturing.
A centerpiece of the 2024 report is the company’s first-ever year-over-year Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disclosure. Verified by independent third parties, this expanded data collection, analysis, transparency and insights into Stratasys’ carbon footprint reinforce the company’s commitment to climate conscious operations and accountability.
The Scope 3 analysis was conducted by THG MyCarbon and received limited assurance from Motive Analytics. It includes emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation, business travel, product use, and end-of-life treatment, providing a comprehensive view of the Stratasys value chain impact well beyond direct operations.
