OUP's reported carbon emissions

Oxford University Press (OUP), headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no emissions figures are available. Consequently, there are no reported Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures to detail. In the absence of concrete emissions data, it is important to note that OUP has not outlined any specific reduction targets or initiatives related to carbon emissions. This lack of publicly available information on their climate commitments suggests that OUP may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive sustainability strategy. As the publishing industry increasingly prioritises climate action, OUP's future commitments and initiatives will be crucial in aligning with global sustainability goals.
