Afterpay Limited's reported carbon emissions
In 2019, Afterpay Limited, headquartered in Australia, reported carbon emissions data that includes a carbon intensity of approximately 470 kg CO2e per full-time equivalent (FTE) employee. However, the company has not disclosed specific Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures, nor has it provided total emissions data for that year. Afterpay's climate commitments are currently unclear, as there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges available. The company is a current subsidiary of Block, Inc., which may influence its climate strategy and reporting. Emissions data and climate initiatives may be cascaded from Block, Inc., but specific details regarding these initiatives have not been disclosed. As a part of the broader industry context, Afterpay's lack of specific emissions data and reduction targets highlights a common challenge faced by many companies in the financial technology sector regarding transparency and accountability in climate commitments.
