99Designs Inc's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Cimpress plc

99Designs Inc, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. The company is a current subsidiary of Cimpress plc, which may influence its climate commitments and performance metrics. However, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from 99Designs Inc at this time. As a subsidiary, 99Designs Inc may align its sustainability efforts with those of Cimpress plc, but specific details regarding emissions or reduction initiatives have not been disclosed.
