The emissions data indicates a significant reliance on direct emissions sources, particularly in Scope 1. Despite the substantial emissions figures, Circle Internet Group, Inc. has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor do they participate in recognised climate pledges such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of defined reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the organisation. Overall, while the company has made some progress in managing its emissions, the lack of formal reduction targets highlights an opportunity for further engagement in climate action.
