The increase in emissions in 2024 reflects a one‑time event tied to the 40th anniversary of MathWorks. To mark this milestone, we brought employees together from across the world for an in‑person celebration in Orlando, Florida. Emissions related to flights and hotel stays for this event were offset in full.
The best thing we can do is not emit greenhouse gases in the first place. However, some emissions are unavoidable. Therefore, MathWorks seeks to offset what emissions we are responsible for in the most impactful way possible.
A 12-year virtual power purchase agreement (vPPA) with Enel’s 25 Mile Creek Wind Project offset 100% of our North American electricity use.
Investment in long-term verified emission reductions (VERs) supports reforestation projects through the Arbor Day Foundation and GreenTrees.
The visuals below break down emissions by scope and show how emissions and offsets are applied across each category.
| Total GHG emissions (Scopes 1, 2, and 3) associated with MathWorks operations | 50,098 |
| GHG emissions addressed | |
| Addressed by renewable energy procurement (RECs from VPPA and unbundled purchases) | 4,817 |
| Addressed by carbon offsets (VERs) | 17,262 |
| TOTAL | 22,079 |
| Percentage emissions addressed | 44% |
| Emissions | Offset | |

We continually work to reduce our environmental footprint across our facilities by improving energy efficiency, increasing renewable energy generation, and minimizing waste.
Highlights include:
Seven solar arrays across our Natick, Massachusetts, campuses generate almost 2 million kWh annually, supplying nearly 10% of campus electricity.
In 2025, our two Natick campuses achieved an Energy Use Intensity (EUI) in the upper and lower 40s, outperforming the Energy Star office space median of 52.9.
Our two major data centers have power use effectiveness (PUE) values of 1.41 and 1.29, both below the industry average of 1.54.
Our headquarters diverts more than 60% of physical waste from landfills through reuse, recycling, and composting.
Our climate efforts extend beyond our campuses. MathWorks and the MathWorks Foundation support nonprofits, researchers, startups, and academic institutions advancing sustainability and climate science worldwide.
Key initiatives include:
More than 31,000 acres protected through Mass Audubon and the Appalachian Mountain Club since 2022
A four-year commitment with the Arbor Day Foundation to support rebuilding and resilience for areas struck by extreme disasters caused by climate change
Empowering more than 1,400 startups through our startup program and helping students across more than 6,500 universities advance technology and climate research
Across industries, customers apply MATLAB and Simulink to advance cleaner technologies and better understand environmental systems.
