Rocket Lab's reported carbon emissions
As of the latest available data, Rocket Lab has not publicly reported any carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of specific emissions data for the most recent year. Consequently, there are no absolute emissions numbers to analyse, nor are there any documented reduction targets or climate commitments outlined by the company. Rocket Lab's climate strategy appears to be in its early stages, as there are no significant reduction initiatives or targets, such as those set by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), mentioned in their disclosures. The absence of emissions data and reduction commitments suggests that the company may still be developing its approach to sustainability and carbon management. Given the current context, Rocket Lab's climate commitments and emissions strategy remain unclear, and further transparency in reporting will be essential for stakeholders interested in the company's environmental impact and sustainability efforts.
