AFFIRM's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Affirm Holdings, Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 5,924,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 158,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, while the majority, about 5,766,000 kg CO2e, falls under Scope 3 emissions. Notably, Scope 3 emissions comprise significant contributions from business travel (2,242,000 kg CO2e), employee commuting (2,768,000 kg CO2e), and the use of sold products (228,000 kg CO2e), along with purchased goods and services (528,000 kg CO2e). In the previous year, 2022, Affirm's emissions totalled approximately 4,046,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 3,683,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 363,000 kg CO2e. The trend indicates a substantial increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023, primarily driven by Scope 3 activities. Affirm has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor do they have any climate pledges or commitments documented. The absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets suggests that the company is currently not aligned with industry-standard climate commitments. Overall, while Affirm has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of reduction initiatives or targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
