Figma measures emissions via Watershed but publishes none of the data. It has committed to net-zero by 2040 but relies heavily on carbon offsets and removals rather than operational reduction. No renewable energy strategy, no formal sustainability governance, and minimal transparency beyond regulatory filing.
