The company is actively engaged in reporting its emissions through the CDP, but lacks formal commitments such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets or other industry-standard climate pledges. Overall, while Chegg has made strides in transparency regarding its carbon footprint, it currently does not have defined reduction targets or significant climate initiatives in place.
