Snapshot

Based on reported data, retrieved with AI

  • link reported 33,288 tCO₂e in 2024.
  • Scope 2 reported under the location based methodology.

According to available emissions disclosures, link reported total yearly emissions of 33,288 tCO₂e in 2024. Scope 2 emissions accounted for 97% of the reported footprint, indicating purchased energy was the most significant contributor to its carbon footprint.

The company achieved a Mycelium Score of 0.3, placing it well below average for its sector for sustainability performance, and received a transparency score of 19.5, pointing to very little public detail on their key emissions.

How scoring works

How the Mycelium Score is calculated

The Mycelium Score is out of 10. Up to 6.5 points reflect carbon intensity vs peers in the same NACE section (emissions normalised against revenue, log-scaled between the 5th and 95th percentile of each company's latest reporting year in that section; a section needs at least 5 companies to be benchmarked). The band above 6.5 is earned through verified data quality on a claimed profile: declaring every reporting category yourself (up to 2.0), preparation by a carbon accountant (2.0) and independently audited figures (2.0). The total is multiplied by the transparency score and capped at 10. A disclosure with an implausibly large figure (Scope 1 or 2 over 300 million tonnes, a Scope 3 figure over 2 billion tonnes or a total over 2.5 billion tonnes) is not scored until it has been checked.

A higher score means lower carbon intensity than sector peers, backed by data that's third-party verified, claimed by the company, and fully disclosed. link's score sits at the top of this page and in the score panel. Without a revenue figure to measure carbon intensity, or an industry classification to compare it within, a company has no score.

How the Transparency Score is calculated

The Transparency Score is the share of a company's estimated footprint that it reported itself, graded from A (very high) down to F (very low). Where a category is missing, Mycelium models what it would hold for a company of that size and industry and counts it as undisclosed, so an unreported category where the bulk of emissions sit hurts far more than a minor one. Unreported downstream categories (9 to 15) count at a quarter of their modelled size in this share; the carbon intensity behind the score still counts them in full. A Scope 3 total filed without a category breakdown earns very little credit for the part left unattributed, because it does not show which categories are inside it: a company can count business travel, leave purchased goods out entirely, and the total looks the same. Without a revenue figure the footprint cannot be modelled, so the company has no Transparency Score.

For link, the single biggest gap is Purchased goods & services (Scope 3 Category 1). Mycelium estimates it accounts for around 37% of the company's estimated footprint, yet it hasn't been disclosed. Leaving a bucket this large unreported is what's holding the transparency score down.

Other material categories link hasn't disclosed:

  • Capital goods (Scope 3 Category 2), around 13% of the estimated footprint
  • Employee commuting (Scope 3 Category 7), around 12% of the estimated footprint
  • Use of sold products (Scope 3 Category 11), around 7% of the estimated footprint

In total, roughly 82% of link's estimated emissions sit in categories it hasn't reported. Disclosing these would be the fastest way to raise the transparency score.

link carbon emissions FAQs

What are link's carbon emissions?

In its 2024 reporting year, link disclosed total emissions of 33,288 tCO2e across all scopes. Including Mycelium estimates for undisclosed categories, the adjusted total is 189,487 tCO2e. Scope 2 accounted for the largest share of the reported total, around 97%.

Does link report Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions?

For 2024, link's available disclosure covers Scope 1 (846 tCO2e) and Scope 2 (32,442 tCO2e). Figures not reported by the company are shown as modelled estimates and labelled as such.

How transparent is link's emissions reporting?

link has a Mycelium transparency score of 19.5 out of 100. The score is the share of the company's estimated footprint that it reported itself, so an undisclosed category where most of its emissions sit weighs far more than a minor one.

Is link sustainable?

Mycelium measures sustainability through carbon emissions data rather than giving a yes or no verdict. link has a Mycelium Score of 0.3 out of 10, which reflects its emissions intensity against sector peers together with how transparent and well-verified its reporting is. The emissions figures and disclosure documents on this page give the fuller picture.

Is link environmentally friendly?

Carbon emissions are one measurable part of environmental impact, and the part Mycelium tracks. link disclosed 33,288 tCO2e for 2024, and its Mycelium Score of 0.3 out of 10 shows how that performance compares with similar companies in its sector.
