LinkedIn Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. However, it is important to note that LinkedIn's climate commitments and reduction initiatives are cascaded from its parent company, Microsoft Corporation. Microsoft has set ambitious sustainability goals, including commitments to become carbon negative by 2030 and to remove all carbon emitted since its founding in 1975 by 2050. These targets are part of a broader strategy that includes initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and the RE100 initiative, all of which are aligned with industry standards for climate action. As a current subsidiary of Microsoft, LinkedIn benefits from these overarching commitments and initiatives, although specific reduction targets or achievements for LinkedIn itself have not been disclosed. The company's climate strategy is thus integrated within Microsoft's comprehensive sustainability framework, which aims to significantly reduce emissions across all scopes, including Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. In summary, while LinkedIn Corporation does not report its own emissions data, it is aligned with Microsoft's robust climate commitments and initiatives, reflecting a strong corporate responsibility towards sustainability and climate action.
