Significant gapsPending Review-2 since last review

Uber's absolute Scope 3 emissions surged 68% in two years while it shifted to intensity targets and stopped publishing standalone ESG reports. Platform emissions are rising faster than EV adoption can offset, and absolute reduction remains absent. The company faces credible criticism for increasing overall vehicle miles and congestion despite climate pledges.
