Forbes's reported carbon emissions

Forbes currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data or detailed climate commitments. Without available emissions figures, it is unclear what their current Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions are, as well as any reduction targets or achievements they may have set. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that Forbes may not have publicly committed to specific climate action goals or targets at this time. As the conversation around corporate sustainability continues to evolve, it remains essential for companies like Forbes to establish and communicate their climate strategies to align with industry standards and expectations.
