BlaBlaCar reports Scope 1 and 2 emissions with Deloitte assurance and claims 2.5Mt avoided emissions from carpooling. Scope 3 tracking is methodologically sound but absolute footprint trajectory unclear as the platform scales. No SBTi validation and no confirmed Scope 3 reduction target weaken commitments.
