Sector Benchmark

Note: Latest GHG and revenue data (based on tradingview.com) are used to calculate GHG emissions intensity by sector. The color scale of each bubble depends on the GHG intensity (GHG emissions per 1 million USD revenue). Sectors follow the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) that organize companies based on their primary business activities. The 11 sectors are : Information Technology, Health Care, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Energy, Utilities, Real Estate, and Materials.

Akamai belongs to the sector Information Technology.

Offsets

Last update for Akamai Technologies by zerotracker.net: Oct. 24, 2021
Planning to use external offset credits Yes
Separate targets for emission reductions and removals No
Conditions on use of offset credits
  • No conditions specified
  • Other conditions
Plans for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) Not Specified

Additional notes: Plainly, our program will seek to fully mitigate all impacts (real and potential) from our operations, using net-new renewable energy from meaningful sources, such as PPAs, VPPAs, GOs, and attestations and in year-generated renewable energy credits. An important caveat is that we will only use traceable sources of carbon offset.
