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 teams 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
Strengthened Global Environmental Policy
Criteo published its SBTi targets for 2030, aligned with the 1.5°C scenario of the Paris Agreement:
- Measurement of Criteo’s annual carbon emissions (Scopes 1, 2, 3) through our partnership with SWEEP
- Scope 1: reduce absolute Scope 1 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2022 base year.
- First company in our industry to have our carbon emissions reduction targets approved by the Science Based Target Initiative ("SBTi")
- 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
DATA CENTERS CO2eq EMISSIONS (TEQ CO2)
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.
Criteo’s carbon footprint results by scope
| 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).

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.

Employees’ green initiatives
Updated in 2024, Criteo's Sustainable Travel Policy reinforces employees responsibility to reduce travel and adopt more sustainable practices, including choosing lower-emission options.
In 2023, Criteo introduced its Sustainable Procurement Policy, embedding sustainability into supplier selection by integrating sustainability considerations into procurement practices, strengthening risk management, clarifying procurement roles and responsibilities, and aligning suppliers with Criteo’s sustainability goals to foster a more eco-conscious supply chain.
