Figma measures emissions internally via Watershed but publishes zero carbon data despite rapid growth doubling headcount and tripling revenue. The company relies entirely on carbon removal investments rather than operational reduction, lacks renewable energy procurement, and provides minimal public accountability beyond regulatory filings. Net-zero-by-2040 is unvalidated.

Figma scores 43/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified May 2026.

That places Figma joint 296th of 847 companies scored, and joint 33rd of 76 in SaaS / Digital Services.
