Bertelsmann Stiftung's reported carbon emissions

Bertelsmann Stiftung, headquartered in Germany, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as there are no available figures for kg CO2e emissions. Additionally, the organisation has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. As a result, there is no information on their scope of emissions (Scope 1, 2, or 3) or any significant achievements in carbon reduction. The absence of emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that Bertelsmann Stiftung may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. In the context of the broader industry, many organisations are increasingly setting ambitious targets to reduce their carbon footprints, and it remains to be seen how Bertelsmann Stiftung will align with these trends in the future.
