The company is a current subsidiary of Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While there are no documented reduction targets or specific climate pledges from Del Rey Books, it is important to note that emissions data and sustainability initiatives may be inherited from its parent company, Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA. This includes potential targets set by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and disclosures made to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are cascaded from the parent organisation. As a subsidiary of Penguin Random House LLC, Del Rey Books may also align with broader sustainability efforts within the publishing industry, although specific initiatives or performance metrics are not detailed in the available data. Overall, while Del Rey Books has not disclosed its own emissions or reduction strategies, it is positioned within a corporate family that is likely engaged in climate action and sustainability efforts.
