2024 Executive Summary of Carbon Footprint
Ayrton is committed, at an organizational level,
to continually improve how we approach sustainability.
In August 2025, we completed our 2024 Carbon Footprint Report with the carbon management platform Greenly, marking the fourth consecutive year of annual carbon footprint accounting.
Reporting period
January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024.
Measurement scope
All emissions under the operational control of Ayrton’s Headquarters in France and the office in Germany, generated in and outside the country of operation, covering Scope 1, 2 & 3.
Accounting methodology
Official methodology of the French Ministry of Ecological Transition, with audit-ready report.
Project calendar
Launched in April 2025 and finalized in August 2025.
General Overview
44.9 k tCO2e
Total carbon emissions
in 2024
14%
Net decrease of total emissions
compared to 2023
71.9%
Energy consumption of Product Sold
in the usage phase stands as the most significant category of total emissions
11%
Emissions from air freight,
a dominant source contributing over 98% of total freight emissions
43.3k tCO2e
Carbon emissions
from the life cycle of Ayrton’s products
Carbon Footprint by Category
19 tCO2e
Onsite emissions generated directly by Ayrton, such as diesel combustion and refrigerant leakage
SCOPE 1
27 tCO2e
Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat or steam
SCOPE 2
44.9k tCO2e
Indirect emissions across the organization’s upstream and downstream value chain, including purchased good and services, use of sold products, transportation and distribution, etc.
SCOPE 3
BREAKDOWN OF SCOPE 3
- 71.9% Use of product sold
- 13.5% Product purchase
- 11.7% Freight
- 1.6% Travel & Commute
- 0.3% Activities and events
- 0.3% Service purchase
- 0.7% Other
Product embodied carbon & Operational carbon
- Emissions factors are generic data from recognized databases including ecoinvent and ADEME Base Carbone etc.
- Product operational carbon emissions are calculated based on estimated usage hours, average power output, and the 2024 electricity emission factor of the country where the product is sold.
- 1% EPE foam
- 7% Cardboard
- 91% PU Insert
PU inserts, though responsible for 91% of packaging emissions, are durable and reusable, offering a longer lifespan that supports waste reduction and product protection.
Emission evolution
1. Year-over-Year Evolution
2. In Comparison to 2023
From 2023 to 2024, Ayrton’s emission intensity per revenue decreased by 18%, showing our potential in enhancing business performance while managing carbon impact.
The most significant emissions reduction comes from Scope 3: Use of product sold. It is primarily driven by improvements in the electricity mix across key markets. This reflects a broader, external trend of structural decarbonization in global energy systems. Although it’s an area where we have limited direct control, we can expect a continued positive impact on our carbon footprint from this trend.

2025
Let's create meaningful,
long-term change together
As we continue to build upon the change we have created we are investigating offsetting alongside decarbonisation as part of our overall mix. We understand that offsetting is a challenging topic and we are committed to only using traceable/gold standard offsetting programs when we do so. As always, should you have any comments, ideas or concepts to share with us please do so [email protected].
