VKontakte Ltd's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from VK International Public Joint-Stock Company

As of the latest available data, VKontakte Ltd does not report specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of detailed emissions data for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of VK International Public Joint-Stock Company, which may influence its climate reporting practices. VKontakte Ltd has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate initiatives. This absence of specific targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Given the current industry context, many companies are increasingly focusing on transparency and accountability regarding their carbon footprints. VKontakte Ltd's lack of emissions data and reduction initiatives may reflect a need for enhanced climate commitments to align with industry standards and stakeholder expectations.
