Matterport, Inc. (Nasdaq: MTTR) has released its third
Environmental, Social, and Governance Report which, for the first
time, sets ambitious targets for the company’s top ESG priorities,
including reducing emissions and fostering gender equality in the
workplace.
In addition to these new commitments,
the new report also showcases the company’s success helping its
more than one million subscribers reduce their own carbon emissions
by using Matterport’s digital twins to reduce travel to the more
than 12 million spaces across 178 countries that have been
digitized on the Matterport digital twin platform.
With respect to Matterport’s own
goals, the new ESG report establishes the company’s commitment
to:
- Reaching net-zero emissions by 2050;
- Transitioning to recyclable / renewable packaging for
all Pro3 cameras by 2025
- Reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 20
percent by 2030;
- Achieving gender parity among all full-time employees
by 2030.
“These targets reflect our ongoing
commitment to reduce our environmental impact, drive systemic
change and make the world a better place for future generations,”
said Matterport Chairman and CEO RJ Pittman. “With our innovative
digital twin platform and products, we empower people across the
world to work in smarter ways that put less strain on the planet,”
Pittman added. “We are committed to leading by example. This report
illustrates how our strategy translates ESG commitments into action
and ensures we hold ourselves accountable for achieving even
greater impact."
Based on 2023 data, the new report
highlights how Matterport’s digital twins continue to cut
customers’ carbon footprints by minimizing or eliminating travel to
real estate open houses, construction sites, retail locations, and
manufacturing facilities. Since tracking began in 2022, each
Matterport digital twin creator avoids an estimated average of 0.55
tCO2e (tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent) per year. On a
life-cycle basis, each digital twin can prevent roughly 0.15 tCO2e
emissions, equivalent to driving a personal car for about 451
miles.
Matterport recently partnered with an
outside carbon accounting firm to develop and launch avoided
emissions reporting, which provides select enterprise-level
customers with detailed insights into carbon emissions savings
enabled by the use of Matterport’s platform. These reports are
uniquely tailored to each customer and their facilities,
quantifying emissions avoided by opting for virtual experiences and
digital assessments over onsite tasks like property tours,
inspections, progress monitoring, and change management. They
consider factors such as the number of digital spaces created,
geographic location, and the reduction in total on-site visits.
These groundbreaking carbon emissions
avoidance reports, powered by our digital twin platform, will be
more widely available to customers in 2025 as we scale up the
service. To learn more about our carbon reporting tool, and
