Let us know if this data was useful to you
Upwork Global Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Upwork Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. Despite the lack of direct emissions data, Upwork Global Inc. is part of a broader corporate family that may have relevant climate initiatives. However, no specific reduction targets or commitments have been documented, including those from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. As a subsidiary, Upwork Global Inc. may inherit emissions data and climate strategies from its parent company, Upwork Inc., but this information is not explicitly detailed in the current context. The absence of concrete emissions figures and reduction initiatives highlights a potential area for improvement in transparency and accountability regarding climate impact. In summary, while Upwork Global Inc. is positioned within a corporate structure that may have climate commitments, the lack of specific emissions data and reduction targets limits the ability to assess its environmental performance effectively.
