Snapshot
Based on reported data, retrieved with AI
- TÜV SÜD AG reported 300,250 tCO₂e in 2025.
- Scope 3 accounted for 77% of reported emissions.
- Reported across 10 of 15 GHG Protocol Scope 3 categories.
- Scope 2 reported under the market based methodology.
According to available emissions disclosures, TÜV SÜD AG reported total yearly emissions of 300,250 tCO₂e in 2025. Scope 3 emissions accounted for 77% of the reported footprint, indicating supply chain activity, purchased goods and services, business travel, and wider operational dependencies were the most significant contributors to the company's carbon footprint.
The company does not have a Mycelium Score for 2025, because there is no revenue figure on file to measure its carbon intensity.

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. 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.
TÜV SÜD AG has disclosed the categories that carry most of its estimated footprint, so there's no single bucket dragging the transparency score down. The breakdown above shows which figures are reported and which are modelled.

TÜV SÜD AG carbon emissions FAQs
What are TÜV SÜD AG's carbon emissions?
In its 2025 reporting year, TÜV SÜD AG disclosed total emissions of 300,250 tCO2e across all scopes. Scope 3 accounted for the largest share of the reported total, around 77%.
Does TÜV SÜD AG report Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions?
For 2025, TÜV SÜD AG's available disclosure covers Scope 1 (33,017 tCO2e), Scope 2 (37,479 tCO2e) and Scope 3 across 10 of the 15 GHG Protocol categories. Figures not reported by the company are shown as modelled estimates and labelled as such.
Is TÜV SÜD AG sustainable?
Mycelium measures sustainability through carbon emissions data rather than giving a yes or no verdict. TÜV SÜD AG does not have a Mycelium Score for 2025 yet. The emissions figures, disclosure documents and climate targets on this page give the fuller picture.
Is TÜV SÜD AG environmentally friendly?
Carbon emissions are one measurable part of environmental impact, and the part Mycelium tracks. TÜV SÜD AG disclosed 300,250 tCO2e for 2025. It does not have a Mycelium Score yet to compare that with similar companies in its sector.
