Busuu Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Chegg, Inc.

Busuu Limited, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Chegg, Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While there are no documented reduction targets or specific climate pledges from Busuu Limited, it is important to note that emissions data and performance metrics may be inherited from its parent company, Chegg, Inc. This cascading of data occurs at a level 2 relationship, meaning that any climate initiatives or targets set by Chegg could potentially reflect on Busuu's environmental strategy. As of now, Busuu Limited has not publicly committed to any specific science-based targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), nor has it outlined any significant reduction initiatives. The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy. In summary, while Busuu Limited is part of a larger corporate family that may have established climate commitments, it currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction targets of its own.
