Databricks currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data, including specific figures for Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their initiatives. As a result, the company has not set specific goals for reducing its carbon footprint or committed to any industry-standard climate initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). In the absence of concrete emissions data and reduction commitments, it is unclear how Databricks is addressing climate change within its operations. The company may need to establish clearer sustainability goals and report on its emissions to align with industry best practices and enhance transparency regarding its environmental impact.
Climate goals typically focus on 2030 interim targets and 2050 net-zero commitments, aligned with global frameworks like the Paris Agreement and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to ensure alignment with global climate goals.
