Acacia Research's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Acacia Research reported carbon emissions of approximately 48,800 kg CO2e, exclusively from Scope 2 emissions related to purchased electricity. This marks a decrease from 2022, when the company recorded about 52,500 kg CO2e in Scope 2 emissions and an additional 67,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Despite these figures, Acacia Research has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they committed to any science-based targets (SBTi). The absence of Scope 1 emissions data indicates a potential area for improvement in their overall emissions reporting. As a company headquartered in the US, Acacia Research's climate commitments appear to be in the early stages, with no documented reduction initiatives currently in place. This context highlights the need for further action to enhance their sustainability profile and address their carbon footprint effectively.
