KuCoin.com's reported carbon emissions

KuCoin.com, headquartered in South Carolina, currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data for recent years. As a result, specific figures regarding their carbon footprint, including Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, are not disclosed. Despite the absence of concrete emissions data, KuCoin has not outlined any specific reduction targets or climate commitments in their available documentation. This lack of information suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. In the context of the cryptocurrency industry, many companies are increasingly recognising the importance of sustainability and are setting ambitious targets to reduce their carbon emissions. As the sector evolves, it will be crucial for KuCoin to establish clear climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations.
