Hut 8, headquartered in the US, currently does not report any carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of specific figures in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges associated with the company. This lack of data suggests that Hut 8 may not have established formal commitments to reduce its carbon footprint or engage in industry-standard climate initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). As the company navigates the evolving landscape of climate responsibility, it may benefit from developing clear emissions reduction strategies and aligning with recognised frameworks to enhance its sustainability profile.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
