Key Metrics
Competitive Behavior
While the company does acknowledge anti-competitive practice (including price manipulation) as an ESG issue, it does not disclose a formal competition policy or report the number of anti-competitive incidents it has faced.
Why is this particularly relevant to Netflix?
Netflix is under active investigation in Türkiye (2025) for potentially anti-competitive exclusivity arrangements. In 2024, South Korean regulators also launched probes into its subscription cancellation practices and pricing changes, following a related fine in 2022.
These actions highlight a pattern of regulatory concern across markets.
Yet, Netflix does not disclose a competition policy or track/report anti-competitive incidents - leaving investors without clear insight into legal exposure or compliance risks that could impact long-term value.
Climate Stability
Netflix’s combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions have risen sharply from 25,790 to 50,488 tCO₂e, an increase of approximately 96%.
This surge ranks as the fifth largest year-on-year increase across the sector and places Netflix as the 13th highest emitter within Integrum’s coverage of the Internet Media & Services sub-sector.
Why is this particularly relevant to Netflix?
While this surge may raise concern among investors, it’s important to note that 2023 emissions were unusually low due to the Hollywood strikes, which temporarily reduced production activity and energy use.
Emissions appear to be trending downward longer term, but the rebound highlights operational volatility and the growing relevance of climate-related risks.
Netflix could strengthen its approach by linking emissions reductions to executive pay and quantifying the financial impact of climate risks, including the share of assets or activities exposed to transition or physical risks.
