Mercado Pago Instituição de Pagamento Ltda's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from MercadoLibre, Inc.

Mercado Pago Instituição de Pagamento Ltda, headquartered in Brazil, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of MercadoLibre, Inc., which may influence its climate-related initiatives and commitments. As part of its corporate family, Mercado Pago's climate commitments and reduction targets are likely aligned with those of MercadoLibre, Inc. However, specific reduction targets or achievements have not been disclosed for Mercado Pago. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Mercado Pago's climate efforts may be informed by the broader sustainability initiatives of MercadoLibre, Inc., which has been active in various climate-related frameworks, including the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). However, without specific data or commitments from Mercado Pago itself, it is challenging to provide a detailed overview of its carbon emissions or climate strategies. In summary, while Mercado Pago Instituição de Pagamento Ltda is part of a larger organisation with potential climate commitments, it currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction targets.
