News reported total carbon emissions of approximately 935.1 million kg CO2e in 2024. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of approximately 14.55 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 58.86 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 861.69 million kg CO2e.

Looking back, their total emissions were approximately 943.72 million kg CO2e in 2023, and approximately 1.17 billion kg CO2e in 2022. In 2021, total emissions were about 1.09 billion kg CO2e.

News has set several climate commitments, including a long-term goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions across all three scopes by fiscal year 2050 or earlier. This net-zero target has been reviewed and validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

For near-term targets, News aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 65% by fiscal year 2030, using a fiscal year 2016 baseline. Additionally, they are committed to reducing Scope 3 carbon emissions by 25% by 2030, with a 2021 base year. These near-term targets are consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C, as validated by the SBTi.

For long-term targets, beyond net-zero, News commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 95% by fiscal year 2050 from a fiscal year 2016 base year, and Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by fiscal year 2050 from a fiscal year 2021 base year.
