This indicates a substantial reduction in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. 8x8 has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that 8x8, Inc. is independently reporting its emissions. Overall, while 8x8 has made progress in reducing its carbon footprint, the lack of formal reduction targets highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments.
