Headline intensities

·Values in USD ($)
Peer cohort: · lower is better
Revenue intensity
Carbon / $m revenue
tCO2e / $m revenue

Carbon per million dollars of revenue. The legacy industry-standard reference (CDP, MSCI). Useful for cross-sector context, but distorted by margin — high-margin firms appear artificially efficient. Read alongside the operational and asset intensities for the full picture.

Operational intensity
Carbon / $m OpEx
tCO2e / $m OpEx

OpEx (operating expenditure) is the running cost of the business — staff, services, energy, materials. This shows how carbon-intensive operations are per million dollars of spend. Removes the margin distortion that revenue-based ratios introduce.

Economic intensity
Carbon / $m EVIC
tCO2e / $m EVIC

EVIC (Enterprise Value Including Cash) is the firm's total capital footprint — equity + debt + cash + minority interest. The EU's standard intensity measure (SFDR PAI 3) — answers: how much carbon does each million of capital deployed in this business produce?

Asset intensity
Carbon / $m PP&E + leased
tCO2e / $m PP&E

PP&E (Property, Plant & Equipment) plus leased real-estate assets is the firm's physical infrastructure on the balance sheet. This shows the carbon intensity of that physical footprint — uses Scope 1+2+3 for consistency with the other headline intensities. Surfaces stranded-asset risk for asset-heavy firms.

End Target was Achieved (self-declared): "In 2016, we made the commitment to reach net-zero carbon emissions across our offices, data centers, and business travel by 2021. And by the close of our 2020 fiscal year, one year before our targeted deadline, we reached that goal, and have since included public cloud in our net-zero boundary" (Workday 2024 Global Impact Report, pg. 26: https://www.workday.com/content/dam/web/en-us/documents/other/workday-global-impact-report.pdf).
