Redefining Sustainable Performance at Scale

2024 Global Emissions Reduction Progress

Taking measured, impactful action on climate change is not only a global imperative but also a business-critical priority for driving sustainable growth and resilience. To fulfill this ambition, we have crafted our net-zero targets and strategy in alignment with ambitious climate pathways, such as the IPCC’s Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 1.9, which charts the course for limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

As a global leader in distributed computing, Akamai provides critical services in cloud computing, security, and content delivery, across large-scale networks consisting of servers, switches, routers, and other network devices. To ensure we accurately track our emissions impact, we are continuing to use the current World Resources Institute (WRI) Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, the most widely recognized global standard for comprehensive and consistent emissions measurement and management. 

Our sustainability program is built on best-in-class climate and greenhouse gas emissions data, driving informed and effective decisions on emissions reductions, renewable energy procurement, carbon offsets, stakeholder engagement, and other strategic initiatives — all of which reflect our dedication to accountability, community, and trust.
