Roku publishes no emissions figures, no climate targets and no sustainability report, so the size deduction for no own figure (0.70x) applies. It sells streaming players and TVs made by contract manufacturers, but publishes nothing on their energy use, e-waste, take-back or repair. It has no SBTi or CDP listing and publishes no renewable electricity, water or nature data.
