Blackboard Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Astra Acquisition Corp.

Blackboard Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The company is a current subsidiary of Astra Acquisition Corp., which may influence its climate reporting and commitments. As of now, Blackboard Inc. has not established any documented reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it appear to have cascaded any specific science-based targets (SBTi) or other climate initiatives from its parent organisation. This lack of publicly available data suggests that Blackboard Inc. may still be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy and emissions reporting framework. In the context of the industry, many organisations are increasingly focusing on transparency and accountability regarding their carbon footprints. As such, it is anticipated that Blackboard Inc. will need to align with these trends to enhance its sustainability profile and meet stakeholder expectations in the future.
