Nlight's reported carbon emissions

In 2019, nLIGHT, Inc. reported emissions data indicating a GHG emissions intensity of approximately 0.0023 kg CO2e per $1 million of total corporate revenue, derived from its Vancouver, WA facility. However, specific total emissions figures for Scope 1, 2, and 3 were not disclosed, indicating a lack of comprehensive emissions reporting for that year. Currently, nLIGHT has not established any formal reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This absence of defined targets suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a robust climate strategy. As a US-based organisation, nLIGHT's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent company, and all reported figures are directly attributed to nLIGHT, Inc. The company is encouraged to enhance its climate commitments and emissions reporting to align with industry standards and expectations.
