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.
Figma scores 43/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Scores are free. Nobody can pay to change a score, speed it up or hide it. Last verified May 2026.
That places Figma joint 336th of 1,023 companies scored, and joint 25th of 69 in SaaS / Digital Services.
