As of the latest available data, Twitter has not disclosed any specific carbon emissions figures, including Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. Consequently, there are no reported reduction targets or achievements related to carbon emissions. The absence of emissions data and climate commitments suggests that Twitter may not have established formal initiatives or targets in line with industry standards. In the context of corporate climate action, it is essential for companies to set measurable targets and report emissions transparently. Without such commitments, Twitter's position in the climate accountability landscape remains unclear.
Climate goals typically focus on 2030 interim targets and 2050 net-zero commitments, aligned with global frameworks like the Paris Agreement and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to ensure alignment with global climate goals.
Twitter has not publicly committed to specific 2030 or 2050 climate goals through the major frameworks we track. Companies often set interim 2030 targets and long-term 2050 net-zero goals to demonstrate measurable progress toward decarbonization.
