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 and Nathan Associates in 2023.
  • Increase in employees working from the office.

Cadmus Scope 1, 2, and 3 Emissions: CY2020-CY2023​

  • In 2023, Cadmus' Scope 1 and 2 emissions were 590 MTCO2e.
  • Cadmus purchased renewable energy certificates (RECs) equivalent to 100% of electricity usage making Scope 2 emissions ZERO and thus total emissions is 108 MTCO2e.
  • During 2020–2023, the Scope 1 emissions declined significantly which were mostly due to a reduction in natural gas use in heating offices and some from the reduction in gasoline use in vehicles in Cadmus' offices in Europe.
  • The Scope 2 emissions increased significantly due to an increase of non-US offices (after the Nathan acquisition) that use electricity.
  • The Scope 3 emissions, which are indirect emissions from the supply chain of goods and services purchased by Cadmus, have actually increased during the period, and also Cadmus' revenue and staff increased substantially during the period.

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 (2 %) are the emissions from gasoline vehicles used in its offices in Europe.

Purchased Electricity 82%
Stationary Combustion 16%
Mobile Combustion 2%

Cadmus Scope 3 Emissions​: CY23

  • In 2023, Cadmus' total Scope 3 emissions are estimated to be 3,419 MTCO2e.
  • The largest amount of Cadmus' Scope 3 emissions come from purchased goods and services, followed by business travel, purchase of capital goods, and employee commute.
  • A small amount of Scope 3 emissions are accounted for some transmission and distribution (T&D) losses of electricity used.
