Red Hat has not publicly disclosed specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, leaving a gap in quantifiable metrics regarding their environmental impact. However, the company is actively engaged in various climate commitments and initiatives aimed at reducing its carbon footprint. While specific reduction targets are not detailed, Red Hat has participated in the CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) reporting framework, which indicates a level of transparency and commitment to environmental accountability. The company has received varying scores in its CDP assessments, with some reports indicating a score of "B," suggesting a moderate level of performance in managing and disclosing climate-related information. Red Hat's climate strategy aligns with industry standards, focusing on reducing emissions across its operations. Although specific Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data is not available, the company is likely addressing these areas through its sustainability initiatives.
