Normative’s 2023 Sustainability Report
In 2023, we continued to use our own carbon accounting platform to drive strategic action toward net zero
Normative’s goal is to reach net zero by 2030. The path there is not a straight line; it’s a journey characterized by clear targets, ongoing adjustments, and steadfast resolve.
We are committed to leading by example through setting high standards and transparently sharing our progress. We also remain critically aware of the areas needing improvement – and dedicated to addressing them with innovative solutions and a collaborative approach.
Our 2023 Sustainability Report details both our progress so far and our plans for the path ahead, and shares our most granular GHG emissions data to date.
Our data has been – and will continue to be – used to inform decision-making processes across the organization, with the ultimate aim of reducing our emissions in line with our net-zero goal.
The key stats and executive summary below give an overview of our 2023 sustainability profile. For a detailed description of Normative’s sustainability status, progress, and future plans, read the full report.

Executive summary
Normative’s 2023 emissions
In 2023, Normative’s total emissions reached 604.57 tCO2e, distributed across scope 1 (0 tCO2e), scope 2 (14.10 tCO2e), and scope 3 (590.47 tCO2e). Our emissions per full-time employee (FTE) were 3.54 tCO2e.
Our progress since last year
We had a 50.53% increase in total emissions from 2022 (401.64 tCO2e) to 2023 (604.57 tCO2e). This is largely due to our operational growth.
We did achieve year-on-year emissions reductions in some areas, reflecting targeted optimizations in our operations. These areas include scope 2 – which saw a reduction of 7.90% – and certain scope 3 categories.
Our plan to reach net zero
Normative’s approach to reaching net zero by 2030 involves a strategic focus on emission hotspots, as detailed in the action plan outlined in Section 4 of the report. This plan includes engaging with suppliers to drive down emissions in scope 3’s “Purchased goods and services” category, enhancing energy efficiency across our operations, and engaging our suppliers using our own tools and expertise.
We see our sustainability work not as a compliance tick-box exercise, but as an opportunity to innovate and lead in making tangible carbon emissions reductions. By sharing our journey transparently, we hope to inspire other companies to amplify their climate action efforts.
