Despite these figures, Groupon has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. The absence of defined climate pledges or science-based targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may need to enhance its commitments to align with industry standards for climate action.
