The company has not disclosed emissions data for 2022 and 2023, indicating a lack of transparency in recent years. NCSoft has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as evidenced by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company’s climate commitments remain unclear, and there are no significant achievements reported in terms of emissions reduction. The emissions data is sourced directly from NCSoft Corporation, with no cascaded data from a parent or related organization. As NCSoft continues to operate in the gaming industry, it faces increasing pressure to enhance its sustainability practices and address its carbon footprint effectively.
