Cogent Communications's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, Cogent Communications, headquartered in the US, reported its carbon emissions data, although specific figures for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions were not disclosed. The company has indicated a carbon emission factor of approximately 1.88e-07 kg CO2e per byte, but comprehensive emissions data is lacking. Currently, Cogent Communications has not established any formal reduction targets or climate pledges, which places them in a challenging position within the industry as many competitors are actively pursuing sustainability initiatives. Without specific commitments or reduction strategies, the company may face scrutiny regarding its environmental impact and climate responsibilities. As the industry increasingly prioritises climate action, Cogent's lack of detailed emissions reporting and reduction initiatives may hinder its reputation and competitiveness in a market that values sustainability.
