is based on to a reliable scientific approach to limiting global warming by 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. The plan includes achieving carbon neutrality for Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions linked to the company’s electricity consumption in third-party data centres. Red Hat achieved an exceptional achievement in this regard by developing and implementing a rigorous strategy to develop a system dedicated to calculating the level of emissions, starting from the year 2019.
