The company also disclosed significant Scope 3 emissions, with 15,123,700 kg CO2e attributed to capital goods, 39,134,100 kg CO2e from business travel, and 39,134,100 kg CO2e from employee commuting, among other categories.

The company has consistently reported emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3 in recent years, indicating a comprehensive approach to tracking its carbon footprint. Despite these disclosures, NCSoft has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, which may limit its ability to demonstrate a commitment to reducing its carbon emissions in line with industry standards. The absence of defined reduction initiatives suggests that while the company is monitoring its emissions, it has yet to establish a clear strategy for achieving significant reductions in the future.
