Idg's reported carbon emissions

IDG, headquartered in the US, currently does not have available carbon emissions data for recent years. As a result, specific figures regarding their emissions in kg CO2e, including Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, are not provided. In the absence of concrete emissions data, it is important to note that IDG has not outlined any specific reduction targets or climate commitments. This lack of publicly available information suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy or reporting framework. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability and carbon neutrality, IDG's future commitments and initiatives will be crucial in aligning with global climate goals.
