Buffer's reported carbon emissions

Buffer, headquartered in the US, currently does not report any carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of specific figures in their latest emissions report. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges available at this time. This lack of data suggests that Buffer may not have established formal commitments to reduce carbon emissions or may not be publicly disclosing such information. In the context of corporate climate action, it is essential for companies to set measurable targets and report emissions transparently to contribute effectively to global climate goals. Without specific emissions data or reduction initiatives, Buffer's climate commitments remain unclear.
