Snap reports comprehensive Scope 1 and 2 emissions data verified via GHG Protocol, but absolute Scope 3 emissions have ballooned 92% since 2019 while relying on intensity-based targets to mask the growth. Carbon neutrality claims hinge on offsets rather than genuine reductions. Transparency is adequate but lacks third-party verification and board-level climate oversight.
Snap scores 51/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified May 2026.
