Carbon neutral is a broad term. I want to see the breakdown between actual reductions and the use of offsets. An 86% drop in GHGs since 2020 is a huge claim for a software firm, so the accounting method here is the real story.
Agreed. If they are scaling AI, their compute needs and data center energy use should be climbing. I wonder if this neutrality is just based on RECs or if they actually moved workloads to low carbon grids.
Blackbaud says they hit 100% neutrality and cut emissions by 86% since 2020. It is a strong headline, but the report is light on the specific projects used to get there.
