As of the latest available data, Coinbase has not publicly reported any specific carbon emissions figures, including Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. Consequently, there are no absolute emissions numbers to reference. Additionally, Coinbase has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments through initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. In the absence of specific emissions data, it is important to note that Coinbase's climate commitments and initiatives are currently unclear. The company does not appear to have cascaded any emissions data or targets from a parent organisation, indicating a lack of inherited climate performance metrics. Overall, while Coinbase operates within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and carbon neutrality, specific details regarding their carbon emissions and climate commitments remain unavailable.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Coinbase is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
