Despite these reductions, Powerschool has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of emissions data for 2022 suggests a need for improved transparency in their climate commitments. Overall, Powerschool's emissions profile indicates a positive trend towards reducing their carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 2 emissions, which are often the largest contributor in the education technology sector.
