MapQuest, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

MapQuest, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The company has not established any documented reduction targets or climate pledges, which suggests a lack of formal commitments to address carbon emissions at this time. It is important to note that MapQuest, Inc. is a current subsidiary and may inherit emissions data and climate initiatives from its parent organisation. However, no specific cascading data or targets from a parent company have been provided, which limits the ability to assess its overall climate impact or commitments. In the context of the industry, many companies are increasingly adopting science-based targets and sustainability initiatives to mitigate their carbon footprints. Without specific data or commitments, MapQuest, Inc. appears to be lagging behind industry standards in terms of transparency and accountability regarding climate action.
