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 any documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. As a result, OCLC's climate commitments and initiatives remain unspecified, and there is no inherited emissions data from a parent or related organisation. Without concrete emissions data or reduction targets, it is challenging to assess OCLC's impact on climate change or its commitment to sustainability.

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 participating in any of the initiatives that 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.
