National Basketball Association, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data, National Basketball Association, Inc. does not report any specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of publicly disclosed emissions data. Consequently, there are no recorded Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures to analyse. Furthermore, the organisation has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This absence of data suggests that the NBA may not currently have formalised climate commitments or reduction initiatives in place. In the context of the sports industry, many organisations are increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon reduction strategies.
