Gimlet Media Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Spotify Technology S.A.

Gimlet Media Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Spotify Technology S.A., which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As part of its corporate family, Gimlet Media's climate initiatives and performance metrics are likely aligned with those of Spotify. However, no specific reduction targets or climate pledges have been documented for Gimlet Media itself.
