In 2024, Robinhood reported total carbon emissions of approximately 63,584,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 232,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, primarily from stationary combustion, and 1,629,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, which are based on location. The majority of their emissions, about 63,352,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, with significant contributions from purchased goods and services (54,394,000 kg CO2e) and business travel (5,701,000 kg CO2e). In 2023, Robinhood's emissions were approximately 18,650,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 393,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 1,634,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for that year totalled around 56,510,000 kg CO2e, again highlighting the substantial impact of purchased goods and services. Robinhood has set near-term climate commitments to achieve net-zero emissions for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 by purchasing 158 tonnes CO2e of kelp sequestration carbon removal units from Running Tide, aimed at offsetting their direct emissions from office natural gas usage. This initiative is part of their broader strategy to address their carbon footprint and contribute to climate action.
