In 2022, KEEN, Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,214,000 kg CO2e, comprising 228,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 986,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This reflects a slight increase in Scope 1 emissions from 85,000 kg CO2e in 2021, while Scope 2 emissions remained relatively stable, decreasing marginally from 938,000 kg CO2e in the previous year. KEEN has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, nor have they set specific reduction targets or commitments through initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company has not reported any climate pledges or formal reduction initiatives, indicating a potential area for future development in their climate strategy. As a US-based organisation, KEEN's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, and all reported figures are derived directly from their own operations. The absence of comprehensive emissions reduction targets suggests that KEEN may need to enhance its climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations.
