In 2022, the company reported total emissions of approximately 155,888,000 kg CO2e, indicating a downward trend in emissions. The company has disclosed emissions data across all three scopes, showcasing transparency in its environmental impact. Despite the reductions, Ncsoft has not set specific reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that while the company is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have formalised its long-term climate commitments. Overall, Ncsoft's emissions data reflects a proactive approach to managing its carbon footprint, with a notable decrease in emissions from 2023 to 2024, although further commitments and targets would enhance its climate strategy.
