Waymo LLC's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Alphabet Inc.

Waymo LLC, 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 Alphabet Inc., which means that any relevant emissions data or climate commitments may be cascaded from its parent organisation. Waymo's climate commitments and reduction initiatives are aligned with those of Alphabet Inc., which has set ambitious targets to reduce its carbon footprint. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Waymo itself have not been disclosed. Alphabet Inc. has made significant strides in sustainability, including commitments to operate on 24/7 carbon-free energy in its data centres and campuses by 2030, and aims to achieve net-zero emissions across its global operations. As a subsidiary, Waymo's climate initiatives may reflect Alphabet's broader sustainability goals, but detailed information specific to Waymo's emissions or reduction targets is currently unavailable. The company is expected to contribute to the overarching climate strategies of its parent organisation, which includes participation in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).
