MapQuest's reported carbon emissions

MapQuest currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data, as there are no available figures for their emissions in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their initiatives. This lack of information suggests that MapQuest may not have publicly committed to specific climate action goals or measurable emissions reductions at this time. In the context of the industry, many companies are increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon neutrality, making it essential for MapQuest to consider establishing clear climate commitments to align with these trends.
