As of the latest available data, WeWork has not disclosed any specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of reported emissions data for the most recent year. Consequently, there are no details regarding their Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, nor any significant reduction targets or achievements. WeWork has not outlined any specific climate commitments or initiatives, such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets or other reduction initiatives. This absence of data suggests that WeWork may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy or reporting practices. In the context of the industry, many companies are increasingly focusing on transparency and accountability regarding their carbon footprints. As a leader in the flexible workspace sector, WeWork's future climate commitments will be crucial in aligning with global sustainability goals and responding to stakeholder expectations.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Wework is participating in some of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
