In 2023, Datadog reported total carbon emissions of approximately 85,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 529,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 1,670,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and a significant 84,255,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). The Scope 3 emissions include notable contributions from business travel (30,161,000 kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (30,161,000 kg CO2e), and waste generated in operations (24,715,000 kg CO2e). Despite the substantial emissions figures, Datadog has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The company does not appear to have cascaded any emissions data from a parent organisation, indicating that all reported figures are directly from Datadog, Inc. Overall, while Datadog's emissions data highlights the scale of their carbon footprint, the absence of defined reduction strategies suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate action framework.
