Unisys defines its Net Zero Goal as the state achieved when Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions to the atmosphere are balanced by anthropogenic removals. At the end of the 2030 target, the company intends to neutralise any residual emissions with permanent carbon removals. It plans to purchase and cancel carbon credits for beyond-value-chain mitigation and will encourage suppliers to buy carbon credits to offset their absolute emissions. No carbon credits were retired in 2024; actual removal purchases are planned as a post-target-achievement step.
