HarperCollins's reported carbon emissions
HarperCollins, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. As a current subsidiary of News Corporation, any climate commitments or emissions data would be cascaded from this parent organisation.
While there are no documented reduction targets or specific emissions figures, HarperCollins is aligned with the broader sustainability initiatives of News Corporation, which may include participation in frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). These initiatives typically aim to enhance transparency and accountability in carbon emissions reporting and reduction efforts.
As of now, HarperCollins has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, but it is expected to follow the sustainability strategies set forth by its parent company. The publishing industry is increasingly focusing on reducing carbon footprints, and HarperCollins is likely to engage in similar efforts as part of its corporate responsibility.
