Green Mountain Energy, headquartered in the US, has reported significant carbon emissions over the years, with the most recent data available from 2005. In that year, the company emitted approximately 1,403,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions and 1,403,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2 emissions, alongside 4,209,000 kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions. The company has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor has it participated in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
