Canva Pty Ltd's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Canva, Inc.

As of the latest available data, Canva Pty Ltd does not report specific carbon emissions figures. However, the company has made significant climate commitments, including a pledge to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2040. This commitment was formalised in 2021 when Canva became the first Australian company to sign Amazon’s The Climate Pledge, which outlines a pathway to reduce emissions across all scopes. While specific emissions data is not available, Canva's climate initiatives are cascaded from its parent company, Canva, Inc. This relationship indicates that any relevant emissions performance data may be inherited from the corporate family structure. Canva's long-term strategy focuses on comprehensive emissions reductions, aligning with industry standards for climate action. The company is actively working towards its Net Zero target, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
