This indicates a significant reduction in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. Despite these figures, Musicmagpie has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The emissions data is cascaded from the parent company, musicMagpie plc, and is influenced by the corporate family relationship with AO World plc, which provides some performance data. Overall, while Musicmagpie has made strides in reducing its emissions, the lack of formal climate commitments or reduction targets suggests there is room for improvement in their sustainability strategy.
