WATCHA, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

In 2020, WATCHA, Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 77,130,000 kg CO2e, reflecting an increase from about 64,949,000 kg CO2e in 2019 and about 55,774,000 kg CO2e in 2018. The emissions data encompasses all scopes, although specific breakdowns for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions were not disclosed. Despite the significant emissions figures, WATCHA, Inc. has not established any formal reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented climate pledges indicates a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. As a company headquartered in South Korea, WATCHA, Inc. operates within an industry context that increasingly prioritises climate action and transparency. The lack of cascaded emissions data from a parent organisation suggests that their reported figures are independently sourced. Overall, while WATCHA, Inc. has substantial emissions, the absence of reduction commitments highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate strategy and align with global sustainability goals.
