Coupang, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of specific figures. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their sustainability initiatives. As of now, Coupang has not cascaded any emissions data from a parent or related organization, meaning all available information is directly from Coupang, Inc. Without specific emissions figures or reduction commitments, it is challenging to assess their climate impact or progress towards sustainability goals. In the context of the industry, many companies are increasingly adopting science-based targets and committing to net-zero emissions, but Coupang's current stance on these initiatives remains unclear.
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.
Coupang is participating in some 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.
