How We Limit our Environmental Impact

Cadmus has been tracking and reporting its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions since 2016. Over the years several notable changes have affected our GHG emissions:​

  • Cadmus’ acquisition of ifok and Meister Consultants Group in 2017.
  • The onset of COVID-19 in 2019, and the resulting pandemic, which led to employees working from home and remotely rather than in our offices.​
  • Cadmus’ acquisitions of Wheelhouse Group in 2022, Nathan Associates in 2023, and Ventera in 2024.
  • Increase in employees working from the office.

Cadmus Scope 1, 2, and 3 Emissions: CY2020-CY2024

  • In 2024, Cadmus’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions in total were 522 MTCO2e, which were 11% less than 2023.​
  • Cadmus purchased renewable energy certificates (RECs) equivalent to 100% of our electricity usage making Scope 2 emissions ZERO. Total Scope 1 and 2 emissions remain at 114 MTCO2e.​​
  • Compared to 2023, our Scope 1 emissions increased. While the natural gas use declined due to the closure of some US offices in 2024, the vehicle emissions increased due to the fuel use in some international offices that were using leased motor vehicles. In the net, Scope 1 emissions increased by about 6%.
  • The electricity usage declined due to the closure of several international offices in 2024, and as the result, the Scope 2 emissions decreased by nearly 15%.
  • Scope 3 emissions, which are indirect emissions from our supply chain of goods and services purchased by Cadmus, as well as business travel, increased significantly in 2024. ​

Cadmus Scope 1 and 2 Emissions by Source​

Pie chart showing Cadmus scope 1 and 2 emissions by source
  • More than three-quarters (3/4) of Cadmus' total emissions are the emissions from its electricity consumption, which is estimated based on the fossil fuel mix of the grid in each region that Cadmus' offices are located.
  • Cadmus purchased RECs equivalent to 100% electricity usage which led to zero GHG emissions from the electricity usage.
  • About 16% emissions are based on natural gas (used in space heating).
  • The rest of the emissions (6%) are the emissions from gasoline vehicles used in its offices in Europe.

Pie Chart Data – Cadmus Scope 1 and 2 Emissions by Source​
Purchased Electricity 78%
Stationary Combustion 16%
Mobile Combustion 6%

Cadmus Scope 3 Emissions​: CY24

  • In 2024, Cadmus' total Scope 3 emissions are estimated to be 7,115 MTCO2e.
  • The largest amount of Cadmus' Scope 3 emissions come from purchased goods and services, followed by purchase of capital goods, business travel, and employee commute.
  • A small amount of Scope 3 emissions are accounted for some waste and transmission and distribution (T&D) losses of electricity used.

Pie Chart Data – Scope 3 Emissions
Purchased Goods and Services ∼84%
Business Travel 6%
Capital Goods 7%
Employee Commute 3%
Waste <1%
T&D Losses <1%
