Netflix discloses dual-framework emissions data and maintains 100% renewable electricity claims, but absolute total emissions rose 25.9% in 2024. Scope 3—95% of footprint—has only an intensity target allowing absolute growth. The company relies heavily on carbon offsets, including credits from a Kenya project later suspended for Indigenous rights violations.
