In 2022, Proterra Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 531,000 kg CO2e, all of which were classified under Scope 1 emissions. Notably, the company did not disclose any emissions for Scope 2 or Scope 3, indicating a focus on direct emissions from owned or controlled sources.

This lack of formal targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions profile, it may need to enhance its climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability. As Proterra continues to operate in the electric vehicle sector, addressing its carbon footprint will be crucial for meeting future regulatory requirements and consumer expectations regarding climate action.
