Criteo’s actions in addressing climate change in 2025
OUR COMMITMENT
Our environmental journey has been going strong for over 10+ years, driven by infrastructure and employee engagement. Today, we continue to accelerate progress toward a more environmentally responsible future. By reducing our GHG footprint, promoting sustainable practices, and fostering environmental stewardship, we aim to lead positive change across the AdTech industry.
KEY MILESTONES
GHG ASSESSMENT
Criteo published its SBTi targets for 2030, aligned with the 1.5°C scenario of the Paris Agreement:
- Scope 1: reduce absolute Scope 1 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2022 base year.
- Scope 2: continue active annual sourcing of 100% renewable electricity through 2030.
- Scope 3: commits to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services and business travel by 30% by 2030 from a 2022 base year.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF DATA CENTERS AND HARDWARE
Criteo’s carbon footprint
Criteo’s infrastructure perimeter represents one of Criteo’s largest environmental impacts, accounting for 40.6% of total GHG footprint and 95.5% of energy consumption. A dedicated capacity planning team ensures infrastructure is optimized for both cost and energy efficiency.
| Scope | 2024(N-1-in tC02eq) | 2025(N-in tC02eq) | N/N-1 evolution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope 1 | 1,024 | 1,811 | +76.86% |
| Scope 2 Location-based | 17,688 | 15,094 | -14.67% |
| Total CO2 emissions (scopes 1 + 2 + 3) - Market-based | 60,579 | 56,144 | -7.32% |
Compared to revenue, the ratio of Criteo’s GHG footprint for Scopes 1, 2 and 3 in 2025 thus amounted to 36 tCO2eq/million $ (Location-based) and 29 tCO2eq/million $ (Market-based).

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF OFFICES AND TRAVEL
GHG emissions due to offices and travel
From electricity and natural gas consumption (offices): 756tCO2eq
Criteo monitors and manages GHG emissions annually in line with its SBTi targets. Emissions are calculated, compared against forecasts and reduction goals, and reviewed annually during the Sustainability report audit. Progress and updated forecasts are then shared with leadership, and when increases are anticipated, teams outline mitigation actions for the coming year.
2025
E-waste management of our leased office spaces, based on total office area in square meters, are covered by green certifications: 6,324tCO2eq
Employees’ green initiatives include an updated Sustainable Travel Policy reinforcing responsibility to reduce travel and adopt more sustainable practices, focusing on raising awareness about their responsibility to travel less frequently. In 2023, Criteo introduced its Sustainable Procurement Policy, integrating sustainability considerations into procurement practices and aligning suppliers with Criteo’s sustainability goals.
95% of critical and preferred vendors were assessed.
Note: The location-based figure reflects the emissions linked to the electricity grids where we operate, while the market-based figure reflects the lower emissions resulting from our renewable energy purchases.
