Without available figures, it is challenging to assess their carbon footprint or climate commitments in detail. However, the absence of disclosed emissions data suggests a potential area for improvement in transparency regarding their environmental impact. As a leading publisher in the academic and scientific sectors, Elsevier's climate commitments and initiatives are crucial for aligning with industry standards and addressing global climate challenges.
