As of the latest available data, SNAPCHAT has not reported any specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of transparency regarding their environmental impact. There are no documented emissions in kg CO2e, nor are there any established reduction targets or climate pledges. This absence of data suggests that SNAPCHAT may not currently have a formalised strategy for addressing carbon emissions or climate commitments. In the context of the industry, many technology companies are increasingly adopting science-based targets and committing to net-zero emissions. However, without specific initiatives or commitments from SNAPCHAT, it remains unclear how they plan to align with these industry standards or contribute to global climate goals. Overall, the lack of emissions data and climate commitments from SNAPCHAT highlights a potential area for improvement in their sustainability practices.
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.
SNAPCHAT is not participating in any 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.
