Cision's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Cision reported total carbon emissions of approximately 31000000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 84000000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 62000000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 32000000 kg CO2e in 2022 and a reduction in Scope 2 emissions from 87000000 kg CO2e. However, Scope 3 emissions increased from 67000000 kg CO2e in the previous year. Cision's emissions profile indicates a significant reliance on Scope 2 emissions, which are associated with purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, suggesting a need for clearer commitments in addressing its carbon footprint. Overall, while Cision has made some progress in reducing its emissions, particularly in Scope 1 and 2, the increase in Scope 3 emissions highlights ongoing challenges in managing its overall environmental impact.
