Yahoo's reported carbon emissions

Yahoo, headquartered in the US, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as there are no available figures for emissions in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges associated with the company. This lack of data suggests that Yahoo may not have established formal commitments to reduce its carbon footprint or may not publicly disclose such information. In the context of the industry, many companies are increasingly adopting science-based targets and sustainability initiatives to address climate change. However, without specific emissions data or commitments, Yahoo's position in this regard remains unclear. As the climate landscape evolves, it will be important for Yahoo to consider setting measurable targets and reporting its emissions to align with industry standards and expectations.
