eBay Inc.

"eBay Inc. aims to achieve a 90 percent absolute reduction in its Scopes 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, a target that has been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Net Zero Tracker
The company does not have an interim target and does not plan to use carbon removal within its target boundary. Net Zero Tracker
eBay's target covers Carbon dioxide and other GHGs, including scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Net Zero Tracker
An interesting fact about eBay's environmental policy is that it does not have a publicly available plan that lays out steps toward its target. …"

Sector Benchmark

Note: Latest GHG and revenue data (based on tradingview.com) are used to calculate GHG emissions intensity by sector. The color scale of each bubble depends on the GHG intensity (GHG emissions per 1 million USD revenue). Sectors follow the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) that organize companies based on their primary business activities. The 11 sectors are : Information Technology, Health Care, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Energy, Utilities, Real Estate, and Materials.

eBay Inc. belongs to the sector Consumer Discretionary.
