At Globant, we are committed to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and reach net-zero by 2050. Our Climate Strategy is planned around four simultaneous efforts:
🏢
Corporate Carbon Footprint
Measure our greenhouse gas emissions across the organization.
🎯
Science Based Targets
Reduce emissions on a trajectory aligned with climate science.
🌳
Carbon Offset Projects
Compensate remaining emissions by supporting verified projects.
📈
ESG Performance
Report progress and hold ourselves accountable through ESG frameworks.
A significant share of Globant's carbon emissions comes from the energy used in our offices — the on-site carbon footprint. Our Guiding Procedure for calculating the Corporate Carbon Footprint details the methodology.
The Workplace Experience team reports this data to the Government Affairs & Sustainability team so they can measure Globant's corporate carbon footprint and act on our Science Based Targets. Reporting follows the WE — Energy Management and Carbon Footprint Reporting Process.
Scope 2 Purchased energy
⚡
Energy Management
Reported monthly in kWh, with invoices and building proration saved to the shared repository.
Scope 1 Direct emissions
🔥
Natural Gas
Reported monthly in m³ in offices where the service is present, with supporting invoices.
🧊
Fuel & Refrigerant Gases (HVAC & GenSet)
Filed per recharge with invoice and technical report. New or replaced equipment must include brand, model, serial, gas type and amount.
Scope 3 Indirect emissions
🗑
Waste Management
Tracked in kilograms. Managed by third parties (governmental or cooperatives) per local regulation — every office separates disposable from recyclables. Most LatAm offices and Spain also compost on-site.
Other Local requirements
💧
Water Management
Reported monthly in m³ where a Globant-only invoice or building proration exists. Not a GHG emission, but some legislations require it.
Reporting is mandatory for sites in regions with a headcount ≥ 1% of Globant's total payroll at the end of the period under analysis. Sites outside these organizational limits may or may not report, depending on the operational scope.
Excluded Cases not counted in the footprint
- Countries that cross the organizational threshold after a merger or acquisition, during the first year of integration.
- Facilities not fully controlled by Globant — e.g. shared-tenant buildings where power generators are not owned by Globant.
- HVAC equipment whose use, administration and maintenance is not owned exclusively by Globant.
