Below expectationsPending Review

Snowflake has published no emissions data, no reduction targets, and no science-aligned pathway despite $3.6B revenue and ~7,000 employees. The company discloses only vague aspirational language on its ESG page. No Scope 1, 2, or 3 inventory exists. Board oversight is claimed but unverified and unsupported by formal governance or reporting structures.
