Figma measures emissions internally via Watershed but publishes zero carbon data despite rapid growth doubling headcount and tripling revenue. The company relies entirely on carbon removal investments rather than operational reduction, lacks renewable energy procurement, and provides minimal public accountability beyond regulatory filings. Net-zero-by-2040 is unvalidated.
