PowerSchool has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor do they appear to have cascaded data from a parent organisation. Their emissions data is solely from PowerSchool Holdings, Inc. The absence of defined climate pledges or reduction targets indicates a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. As the education technology sector increasingly prioritises climate action, PowerSchool's future commitments will be crucial in aligning with industry standards and expectations.
