HarperCollins's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, HarperCollins reported total carbon emissions of approximately 5,488,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 5,488,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This indicates a significant environmental footprint, primarily from direct operations and energy consumption. Notably, there is no available data on Scope 3 emissions, which typically encompass the broader supply chain impacts. Despite the substantial emissions figures, HarperCollins has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. This lack of defined climate commitments may reflect a broader industry context where many publishing companies are increasingly recognising the need for sustainability but have yet to implement comprehensive strategies. As the publishing industry evolves, it is crucial for HarperCollins to establish clear climate goals and reduction strategies to align with global sustainability efforts and enhance their environmental responsibility.
