Palantir discloses carbon emissions annually with GHG Protocol methodology but refuses third-party verification, undercutting credibility. Its SBTi submission was rejected. Emissions rose 1.7% year-on-year in 2024. Offsets mask unabated gross emissions of 23,000+ tCO₂e. Environmental governance and TCFD alignment are absent.
