LinkedIn Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. However, the company is part of a corporate family relationship with Microsoft Corporation, from which it inherits various climate commitments and initiatives. LinkedIn's climate strategy is influenced by Microsoft’s sustainability goals, which include significant commitments to reduce carbon emissions across all scopes. Microsoft has set ambitious targets to become carbon negative by 2030 and aims to remove all carbon it has emitted since its founding by 2050. These targets are cascaded to LinkedIn as a current subsidiary, aligning its climate efforts with those of its parent company. While LinkedIn does not have its own documented reduction targets or specific emissions data, it is expected to adhere to the sustainability initiatives and frameworks established by Microsoft, including participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and the RE100 initiative, which focuses on 100% renewable energy. In summary, while LinkedIn Corporation lacks specific emissions data and individual reduction targets, it is committed to sustainability through its alignment with Microsoft Corporation's comprehensive climate strategies.
