Gracenote's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from The Nielsen Company (US), LLC

Gracenote, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Nielsen Holdings plc, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, Gracenote has not outlined any specific reduction targets or initiatives related to carbon emissions. The absence of direct emissions data suggests that Gracenote may rely on the broader sustainability efforts of its parent company, Nielsen Holdings plc. Nielsen has been active in addressing climate change, and any relevant targets or commitments may cascade down to Gracenote through their corporate relationship. However, specific details regarding these initiatives or targets have not been disclosed for Gracenote. In summary, while Gracenote is part of a larger corporate family that is engaged in climate action, it currently lacks publicly available emissions data and defined reduction targets.
