Celo's reported carbon emissions
Celo, headquartered in the US, currently does not have available data on carbon emissions, as no specific emissions figures have been provided. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their initiatives. This lack of data suggests that Celo may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments or reporting on its carbon footprint. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, it will be essential for Celo to establish clear emissions reduction goals and strategies to align with global climate standards.
