As of the latest reporting, Skype Communications SARL does not have specific carbon emissions data available. The company is a current subsidiary of Microsoft Corporation, which influences its climate commitments and emissions reporting. Skype inherits its climate initiatives and targets from Microsoft, which has set ambitious goals to reduce its carbon footprint. Microsoft has committed to becoming carbon negative by 2030 and aims to remove all the carbon it has emitted since its founding in 1975 by 2050. These commitments are part of a broader strategy that includes initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), CDP, RE100, and the Climate Pledge, all of which are cascaded to Skype at a corporate family level. While specific reduction targets for Skype are not detailed, the alignment with Microsoft's overarching sustainability goals indicates a commitment to significant emissions reductions in the future. As a subsidiary, Skype's climate actions will likely reflect Microsoft's comprehensive approach to tackling climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions across its operations.
