Freelancer's reported carbon emissions

Freelancer, headquartered in Australia, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as there are no available figures for kg CO2e emissions. Additionally, the company has not established any documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of data suggests that Freelancer may not have formalised its climate commitments or initiatives at this time. In the context of the industry, many organisations are increasingly adopting science-based targets and sustainability initiatives to mitigate their carbon footprints. However, without specific emissions data or commitments, Freelancer's position in this regard remains unclear.
