Nielsen's reported carbon emissions

Nielsen has not publicly disclosed any carbon emissions data for the most recent year, nor does it have specific reduction targets or commitments outlined in its climate initiatives. As of now, there are no emissions figures available, and the company does not appear to inherit any emissions data from a parent or related organization. Consequently, Nielsen's current climate commitments and reduction initiatives remain unspecified. The absence of data and targets suggests a need for further transparency regarding their environmental impact and sustainability efforts.
