This figure includes 51,980 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, primarily from purchased electricity, and 153,200 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, which encompass significant contributions from business travel (806,160 kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (12,680 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2022, Mapbox's total emissions were about 1,014,940 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at 93,360 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions reaching 354,500 kg CO2e. The trend shows a slight increase in total emissions from 2022 to 2023, reflecting ongoing challenges in reducing carbon footprints, particularly in business travel. Mapbox has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of formal reduction commitments suggests a need for enhanced strategies to address their carbon emissions effectively. Overall, while Mapbox has made strides in tracking and reporting emissions, the lack of reduction targets indicates an opportunity for the company to strengthen its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
