M-KOPA, headquartered in Kenya (KE), currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of reported figures.

Despite the lack of direct emissions data, M-KOPA is committed to sustainability and reducing its carbon footprint. However, there are no documented reduction targets or initiatives available at this time.
