Viasat, Inc. (VSAT)
Data as of July 17, 2026
Environment story
Viasat discloses minimal environmental data in its 10-K filing. No Scope 1, Scope 2, or Scope 3 emissions are disclosed. The company does not publicly articulate a net-zero target or year. Satellite operations inherently involve space-based infrastructure with unknown direct emissions profiles. No major resource-extraction controversies or water/toxic-waste litigation is evident in available filings. The company invests in satellite communications infrastructure but does not highlight decarbonization initiatives. Absence of disclosed climate targets and emissions inventory triggers substantial deductions under the deterministic rubric.
