Confluent

In 2023, Confluent, headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 42.4 million kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 77,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 461,000 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions totalling around 41.8 million kg CO2e. Notably, the largest contributors to Scope 3 emissions were business travel, accounting for about 18.3 million kg CO2e, and purchased goods and services, which contributed approximately 14.3 million kg CO2e.

In comparison, the previous year, 2022, Confluent's total emissions were approximately 29.9 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 34,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions around 312,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching approximately 29.6 million kg CO2e. This indicates a significant increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023.

Confluent has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The emissions data reported is cascaded from Confluent, Inc., reflecting its current subsidiary status within a corporate family structure.

Overall, while Confluent has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate commitments.
