Chime Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from WorldRemit Ltd

Chime Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The company is a current subsidiary of WorldRemit Ltd, which may influence its climate commitments and performance metrics. Chime Inc. has not publicly disclosed any reduction targets or specific climate initiatives, nor does it appear to have cascaded targets from its parent organisation. This lack of data suggests that while Chime Inc. may be engaged in sustainability efforts, detailed information on their carbon footprint and climate strategies is not currently accessible. As a part of the broader industry context, companies in the financial technology sector are increasingly recognising the importance of addressing climate change and are encouraged to adopt science-based targets to reduce their carbon emissions. However, without specific commitments or data, it is challenging to assess Chime Inc.'s position in this regard.
