Oxford Dictionaries's reported carbon emissions

Oxford Dictionaries currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data or detailed climate commitments. Without available emissions figures, it is unclear what their Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions are, as well as any significant reduction targets or achievements they may have set. The absence of documented reduction initiatives or climate pledges suggests that further information is needed to assess their environmental impact and commitments in the context of climate action.
