Mean score of companies in the industry. Comparing a company's score to the industry average can give you a sense of how well the company is doing compared to its peers.
SNAPCHAT's score of 6 is lower than 100% of the industry. This can give you a sense of how well the company is doing compared to its peers.
As of the latest available data, SNAPCHAT does not report any specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of publicly disclosed emissions data. Consequently, there are no recorded Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures to analyse. Additionally, SNAPCHAT has not established any documented reduction targets or climate pledges, which suggests that the company may not currently have formal commitments to reduce its carbon footprint. In the context of industry standards, many technology companies are increasingly adopting science-based targets and sustainability initiatives to mitigate their environmental impact. However, without specific commitments or data from SNAPCHAT, it is challenging to assess their position relative to peers in the industry. Overall, SNAPCHAT's current climate commitments and emissions data remain unclear, highlighting an opportunity for the company to enhance transparency and engage in climate action initiatives.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
SNAPCHAT is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
