Square's reported carbon emissions
As of 2025, Square has not disclosed specific carbon emissions data, including Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions.

In previous years, emissions were reported as follows: 0.000075 kg CO2e in 2020, 0.000050 kg CO2e in 2021, and 0.000025 kg CO2e in 2022. Square has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they committed to any climate pledges.
