Despite these reductions, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from Powerschool. The company has not specified any initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal reduction commitments. As of 2022, no emissions data was reported, indicating a potential gap in transparency regarding their carbon footprint and climate strategy. Powerschool's emissions data reflects a commitment to monitoring and reporting, but further clarity on their long-term climate commitments and reduction strategies would enhance their sustainability profile.
