National Geographic Society's reported carbon emissions
The National Geographic Society, headquartered in the US, currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data for the most recent year, nor does it report specific reduction targets or initiatives. As of now, there are no documented commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. Without specific emissions figures or reduction targets, it is unclear how the National Geographic Society is addressing its carbon footprint. The absence of data may suggest a need for enhanced transparency regarding their climate commitments and sustainability efforts. In the context of the broader industry, many organisations are increasingly adopting rigorous climate strategies, setting ambitious targets to reduce emissions across all scopes (Scope 1, 2, and 3). However, without specific data or commitments from the National Geographic Society, it remains challenging to assess their position within this evolving landscape.
