Stack Exchange Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Prosus N.V.

Stack Exchange Inc. currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Naspers Limited, and its climate commitments and initiatives are influenced by its parent organisation, Prosus N.V. While there are no documented reduction targets or specific climate pledges from Stack Exchange Inc. itself, it is important to note that the climate strategies and performance metrics may be derived from Prosus N.V. and Naspers Limited. These parent organisations may have established frameworks for emissions reduction and sustainability, which could indirectly impact Stack Exchange Inc.'s environmental practices. As of now, Stack Exchange Inc. has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other recognised climate frameworks. The lack of emissions data and defined reduction targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. In summary, while Stack Exchange Inc. does not currently report its carbon emissions or specific climate commitments, it is positioned within a corporate family that may influence its future sustainability efforts.
