Outerknown's reported carbon emissions

Outerknown, headquartered in the US, currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data for the most recent year, nor specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. Without concrete figures or defined goals, it is challenging to assess their current impact on climate change or their strategic approach to reducing carbon emissions.
