KuCoin.com's reported carbon emissions

KuCoin.com, headquartered in South Carolina, 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 organisation. This lack of data suggests that KuCoin may not have established formal commitments to reduce its carbon footprint or engage in industry-standard climate initiatives. As a result, it is unclear how KuCoin.com aligns with broader climate action frameworks or whether it inherits any emissions data from a parent organisation. Without specific emissions figures or reduction initiatives, it is challenging to assess the company's environmental impact or its commitment to sustainability within the cryptocurrency sector.
