OCLC's reported carbon emissions
OCLC, headquartered in the US, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data or reduction targets. Without available figures, it is unclear what their absolute emissions are or the scope of these emissions (Scope 1, 2, or 3). However, the absence of documented reduction initiatives or climate pledges suggests that OCLC may not have publicly committed to specific climate action strategies at this time. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, OCLC's future climate commitments will be crucial for aligning with global efforts to reduce carbon footprints and combat climate change.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
OCLC is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
