Coupang, headquartered in GB, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no emissions figures are available. The company has not outlined any documented reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. As of now, Coupang's climate commitments and initiatives remain unspecified, indicating a potential area for development in their sustainability strategy. Without concrete emissions data or reduction targets, it is challenging to assess their environmental impact or progress in addressing climate change. Coupang's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, and all information is sourced directly from Coupang, Inc. This lack of available data highlights the need for increased transparency and accountability in their climate-related efforts.
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.
