DigitalOcean's reported carbon emissions

DigitalOcean, headquartered in the US, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The company has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. As of now, DigitalOcean's climate strategy appears to be in its early stages, with no inherited emissions data from a parent company, such as DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. This suggests that the organisation is independently navigating its climate commitments without cascading data from a larger corporate family. In the context of the tech industry, where many companies are increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon neutrality, DigitalOcean's lack of publicly available emissions data and reduction initiatives highlights an opportunity for future development in their environmental strategy.
