In 2021, Groupon reported total carbon emissions of approximately 7.2 million tonnes CO2e, comprising about 1.2 million tonnes CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and around 5.96 million tonnes CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marked a decrease from 2020, when the company emitted about 8.2 million tonnes CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 1.66 million tonnes CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 7.35 million tonnes CO2e. Despite these figures, Groupon has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive approach to managing its carbon footprint. As a major player in the global market, Groupon's emissions profile reflects the broader industry context, where many companies are increasingly prioritising sustainability and carbon reduction efforts.
