As of the latest available data, Major League Baseball (MLB) has not publicly reported any specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of detailed emissions data. Consequently, there are no defined Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions metrics available for analysis. Additionally, MLB has not established any formal reduction targets or commitments through initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This absence of data suggests that while MLB may be aware of the importance of addressing climate change, specific actions or measurable commitments have not been disclosed. In the broader context of the sports industry, many organisations are increasingly recognising the need to mitigate their environmental impact. However, without concrete data or commitments from MLB, it remains unclear how the league plans to address its carbon footprint or contribute to climate action.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
MLB is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
