Associated Newspapers Limited, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. The company is a current subsidiary of Daily Mail and General Trust plc, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from Associated Newspapers Limited. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Given its corporate relationship with Daily Mail and General Trust plc, any climate-related initiatives or targets may be influenced by the parent company's sustainability efforts. However, without explicit data or commitments from Associated Newspapers Limited, it is challenging to provide a detailed overview of its carbon footprint or climate action plans. In summary, while Associated Newspapers Limited is part of a larger corporate structure that may have sustainability initiatives, specific emissions data and reduction commitments are currently unavailable.
