Hachette Book Group, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Hachette Livre SA

Hachette Book Group, Inc., 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 Hachette Livre SA, which is part of a larger corporate family that includes Lagardère SA and Vivendi SE. As such, any climate commitments or emissions data may be influenced by initiatives and targets set at these higher levels. Hachette Livre SA, as the parent organisation, may have established science-based targets (SBTi) and other climate commitments that could cascade down to Hachette Book Group, Inc. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Hachette Book Group, Inc. itself have not been disclosed. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the process of developing its own climate strategy. In summary, while Hachette Book Group, Inc. is part of a larger corporate structure with potential climate commitments, it currently lacks specific emissions data and defined reduction targets at its level.
