The majority of their emissions, about 63,352,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, with significant contributions from purchased goods and services (54,394,000 kg CO2e) and business travel (5,701,000 kg CO2e).

Scope 3 emissions accounted for about 16,623,000 kg CO2e, again largely driven by purchased goods and services (56,510,000 kg CO2e). The company has set near-term net-zero commitments for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, aiming to offset their direct emissions from office natural gas usage by purchasing 158 tonnes CO2e of kelp sequestration carbon removal units from Running Tide, with a timeframe from 2023 to 2025. Robinhood's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, and all reported figures are derived directly from their own disclosures.
