Harvard Business School's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Harvard University

Harvard Business School, as a current subsidiary of Harvard University, does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. Consequently, there are no reported figures for emissions in kg CO2e, nor are there defined reduction targets or climate pledges at this level. The emissions data and climate commitments may be inherited from its parent organisation, Harvard University, which is known for its sustainability initiatives. However, specific details regarding these initiatives or any significant reduction targets are not provided in the available information. As a part of the broader climate commitment landscape, Harvard University has been actively engaged in various sustainability efforts, but without specific data or targets cascaded to Harvard Business School, it is challenging to provide a detailed overview of its carbon emissions and climate commitments.
