Canaan Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Canaan Inc., headquartered in Singapore (SG), currently does not report any carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of specific figures in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges available from the company. This lack of data suggests that Canaan Inc. may not have established formal commitments to reduce its carbon footprint or may not publicly disclose such information. In the context of the industry, many companies are increasingly adopting science-based targets and sustainability initiatives to address climate change. However, without specific emissions data or commitments, it is challenging to assess Canaan Inc.'s position relative to its peers in the sector. As the global focus on climate action intensifies, it will be important for Canaan Inc. to consider developing and communicating its climate strategy to align with industry standards and stakeholder expectations.
