Scope 2 Total emissions: (market-based): 10.2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent 2.5M tCO e (tCO e), which represents our Scope 1, Scope 2 10.2M tCO e 2 2 2 (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions. In 2022, our total Scope 3 emissions operational emissions were approximately 2.9 million tCO e, where operational emissions represent Scope 1 2 Our Scope 3 emissions are indirect emissions from other Scope 3 (total): and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions, as well as Scope 3 sources in our value chain, such as our suppliers, use of 7.6M tCO2e emissions from business travel and employee commuting, our consumer hardware products, and business travel. including teleworking (see Figure 11). The majority of these emissions come from upstream manufacturing of consumer hardware products, the production of capital goods we have purchased for Scope 1 emissions use in our data centers, and data center construction.
