Despite these figures, Groupon has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company operates within a broader industry context where many organisations are increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon footprint reduction. As such, Groupon's emissions data highlights the need for ongoing evaluation and potential enhancement of their climate commitments.
