AFFIRM's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Affirm Holdings, Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 5,924,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 158,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions and 5,766,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, which encompasses significant contributions from business travel (2,242,000 kg CO2e), employee commuting (2,768,000 kg CO2e), and the use of sold products (228,000 kg CO2e). Notably, Affirm does not currently disclose Scope 1 emissions data. Comparatively, in 2022, Affirm's emissions were recorded at 4,046,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions contributing 3,683,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 363,000 kg CO2e. The absence of Scope 3 data in 2022 limits a comprehensive year-on-year comparison. Affirm has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the lack of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company operates independently without cascading emissions data from a parent organisation, ensuring that its reported figures reflect its own operational impact. Overall, Affirm's emissions profile highlights a significant reliance on Scope 3 emissions, particularly from employee-related activities, underscoring the need for targeted strategies to address these areas in future sustainability efforts.
