OCLC's reported carbon emissions
OCLC, headquartered in the US, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as there are no available figures for kg CO2e emissions. Additionally, the organisation has not established documented reduction targets or commitments under frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. As a result, OCLC's climate commitments and initiatives remain unspecified, indicating a potential area for development in their sustainability strategy. Without concrete emissions data or reduction targets, it is challenging to assess their environmental impact or progress in addressing climate change.
