Greenhouse gas emissions covered by IBM’s fifth-generation goal totaled 431,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO₂e) in 2022. This was a decrease of almost 10 percent compared with the previous year, and a reduction of 63.3 percent, relative to 2010 base year levels. Scope 2 indirect emissions are the largest contributor to IBM's annual emissions. Meanwhile, IBM's estimated emissions from the value chain (Scope 3) were 169,000 tCO₂e.
