- Majority of emissions come from Scope 3 (upstream and downstream supply chain), particularly cloud infrastructure and server usage.
- Difficulties sourcing specific data on emissions from global vendors.
- Business growth significantly drives increases in Scope 3 emissions.
- High electricity consumption in main offices due to consolidated working locations and increased headcount.
