Snap reports emissions data and renewable electricity procurement, but trajectory is problematic: Scope 3 has risen 92% since 2019 baseline despite recent year-on-year dips. Intensity-based targets mask absolute growth. Heavy reliance on carbon offsets for neutrality claims, unverified emissions data, and no biodiversity or water disclosure compound weak accountability.
