In 2023, SoFi reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,387,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 328,300 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 1,730,300 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions, which comprise business travel emissions of about 1,453,500 kg CO2e and employee commute emissions of approximately 874,900 kg CO2e. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, SoFi has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate commitments suggests that while the company is tracking its emissions, it may not yet have established formal strategies to mitigate its environmental impact. As a financial services provider headquartered in the US, SoFi's emissions profile reflects the broader industry context, where many companies are increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon reduction. However, without concrete targets or pledges, SoFi's commitment to addressing climate change remains unclear.
