DraftKings's reported carbon emissions

DraftKings, headquartered in the US, currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data for the most recent year, nor does it report specific reduction targets or initiatives. As of now, there are no documented commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of emissions data suggests that DraftKings may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. Without specific figures or targets, it is challenging to assess their overall impact on climate change or their strategic approach to reducing carbon emissions. In the context of the gaming and sports betting industry, many companies are increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon reduction. DraftKings may need to align with these industry trends to enhance its environmental responsibility and transparency.
