Zhihu Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Zhihu Inc., headquartered in China (CN), currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data or specific reduction targets. As such, there are no reported figures for their carbon footprint in terms of kg CO2e, nor any outlined commitments to reduce emissions. This absence of data suggests that Zhihu may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy or reporting framework. In the context of the industry, many companies are increasingly focusing on sustainability and setting science-based targets to mitigate climate impact. However, without specific commitments or emissions data, it is challenging to assess Zhihu's position in this regard.
