Environment: Stewardship Commitments
Robinhood understands that protecting our planet helps sustain long-term economic growth. Since 2019, we've completed an annual greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory. We report Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions across our value chain-including building operations, cloud usage and contracted co-located data centers, purchased goods and services, marketing, and business travel. We've also taken early steps to build out an environmental program at Robinhood aimed at reducing emissions and other facets of our carbon footprint.
2025 Carbon FootprintIn 2025, Robinhood emitted 87,532 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (mtCO₂e). Robinhood utilized Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) generated through its Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA) supporting five new solar plants in Michigan to reduce Scope 2 market-based emissions to zero. These credits were also applied toward select electricity-related Scope 3 emissions categories.
Robinhood's largest Scope 3 emissions category remains purchased goods and services, including emissions associated with cloud usage and marketing activities. Where available, Robinhood utilizes supplier-specific emissions information to better understand and assess its environmental footprint. See the table below for a full breakdown of Robinhood's greenhouse gas inventory.

EnergyLED motion-sensor lighting
WaterLow-water indoor plants and native species in external landscaping, low-flow faucets & lavatories
WasteRecycling and compost bins; as well as e-waste disposal following local & state ZeroWaste initiatives
Purchased Goods & Services: Cloud ProvidersRobinhood's most significant source of emissions is in the Scope 3 Category 1, Purchased Goods and Services. This category includes our cloud providers, a significant source of both spend and historic emissions. We are proud to partner with cloud service providers who have either achieved zero emissions or have a public commitment and are making progress to do so.
Renewable EnergySince 2022, Robinhood has supported clean energy development through renewable energy procurement and investments in new renewable generation projects. In 2024, Robinhood was one of eight companies to help fund five new solar plants in Michigan through a fixed-price VVPA. These solar plants are expected to generate more than 110,000 MWh of clean electricity annually for Michigan communities and help avoid more than 52,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year. In 2025, Robinhood applied the renewable energy credits generated through this VPPA toward its electricity-related emissions, contributing to the reduction of Scope 2 market-based emissions to zero.

Environmental RegulationWe are subject to applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to climate risk and environmental impact, including those required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In addition, we are, or may become, subject to various climate disclosure regimes regulating the disclosure of GHG emissions and related information, such as the E.U.'s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, California's Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act and Climate Related Financial Risk Act. The interpretation and enforcement of such climate disclosure regimes remains uncertain, and compliance may require the investment of significant resources, increase our costs, disrupt our business operations and pose reputational and other risks.
California Voluntary Carbon Market Disclosures Act (AB 1305) Statement
Forward-Looking StatementsThis fact sheet contains forward-looking statements (as such phrase is used in the federal securities laws), which involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as "believe," "may," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "could," "intend," "target," "project," "contemplate," "estimate," "predict," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. This fact sheet includes forward-looking statements regarding our vision and strategic plans; our beliefs about our platform's impact on customers and their long-term financial goals; our sustainability commitments and environmental program, including statements related to the expected impact of our renewable energy investments and emissions reduction strategies; that the new solar plants are expected to generate more than 110,000 MWh of clean energy per year for five Michigan communities and that effort will help these communities avoid more than 52,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually; that Robinhood plans to use the resulting RECs, which provide proof of production of carbon-free electricity, to offset our electricity-related emissions in the coming years; that we are, or may become, subject to various climate disclosure regimes; and that compliance with such regimes may require the investment of significant resources, increase our costs, disrupt our business operations, and pose reputational and other risks. Our forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors that may cause our actual future results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied in this report. Reported results should not be considered an indication of future performance. Factors that contribute to the uncertain nature of our forward-looking statements include, among others: our rapid and continuing expansion, including continuing to introduce new products and services on our platforms as well as geographic expansion; the difficulty of managing our business effectively, including the size of our workforce, and the risk of declining or negative growth; the fluctuations in our financial results and key metrics from quarter to quarter; our reliance on transaction-based revenue, including payment for order flow ("PFOF"), the risk of new regulation or bans on PFOF and similar practices, and the addition of our new fee-based model for cryptocurrency; our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and rapidly changing interest rate environments; the difficulty of raising additional capital (to provide liquidity needs and support business growth and objectives) on reasonable terms, if at all; the need to maintain capital levels required by regulators and self-regulatory organizations; the risk that we might mishandle the cash, securities, and cryptocurrencies we hold on behalf of customers, and our exposure to liability for processing, operational, or technical errors in clearing functions; the impact of negative publicity on our brand and reputation; the risk that changes in business, economic, or political conditions that impact the global financial markets, or a systemic market event, might harm our business; our dependence on key employees and a skilled workforce; operational and regulatory risks and expenditures prior to and following closing of our acquisitions and investments; the difficulty of complying with an extensive, complex, and changing regulatory environment, the risk of monetary and other penalties for noncompliance and the need to adjust our business model in response to new or modified laws and regulations; the possibility of adverse developments in pending litigation and regulatory investigations; the effects of competition; our need to innovate and acquire or invest in new products, services, technologies, and geographies in order to attract and retain customers and deepen their engagement with us in order to maintain growth; our reliance on third parties to perform some key functions and the risk that processing, operational or technological failures could impair the availability or stability of our platforms; the risk of cybersecurity incidents, theft, data breaches, and other online attacks; the difficulty of processing customer data in compliance with privacy laws; our need as a regulated financial services company to develop and maintain effective compliance and risk management infrastructures; the risks associated with incorporating artificial intelligence technologies into some of our products and processes; and the risk that substantial future sales of Class A common stock in the public market, or the perception that they may occur, could cause the price of our stock to fall. Because some of these risks and uncertainties cannot be predicted or quantified and some are beyond our control, you should not rely on our forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.
More information about potential risks and uncertainties that could affect our business and financial results is included in the section of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended May 31, 2026, titled "Risk Factors" and our other filings with the SEC, which are available on the SEC's web site at https://www.sec.gov. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment; new risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks nor identify all uncertainties. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements might not be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
Except as otherwise noted, all forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this report, and are based on information and estimates available to us at that time. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, performance, or achievements.
Except as required by law, Robinhood assumes no obligation to update any of the statements in this report whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise. You should read this report with the understanding that our actual future results, performance, events and circumstances might be materially different from what we expect. The standards of measurement and performance contained in this report are developing and may be based on assumptions, estimates or information collected on a delayed or incomplete basis. The inclusion of information in this report is not an indication that Robinhood deems such information to be material or important to an understanding of the business or an investment decision with respect to Robinhood.
