Environment story
IBM's provided disclosures center on climate-related risk exposure (regulatory costs, physical risk, carbon-tax exposure) rather than quantified Scope 1/2/3 emissions figures or a specific net-zero target year. Neither a Scope 3 emissions trend nor a net-zero commitment date is disclosed in the reviewed 10-K or proxy materials, and no verified physical decarbonization infrastructure investment is described in the source text.
