Afterpay Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Block, Inc.

Afterpay Limited, headquartered in Australia, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Block, Inc., which influences its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As a part of this corporate family, Afterpay's climate initiatives and targets are aligned with those set by Block, Inc. While there are no documented reduction targets or specific emissions figures for Afterpay, the overarching commitments from Block, Inc. may include industry-standard climate initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). These initiatives aim to drive significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions across all scopes, including Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. As of now, Afterpay has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or climate pledges. The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction initiatives highlights the need for further transparency in their environmental impact and sustainability efforts.
