Octopus's reported carbon emissions

Octopus, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not report any carbon emissions data, as there are no available figures for kg CO2e emissions. Additionally, the company has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in recognised climate pledges such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). As a result, there is no information on their climate commitments or performance metrics. Without emissions data or reduction initiatives, it is unclear how Octopus is addressing its carbon footprint or contributing to climate action within the industry.
