PR Newswire's reported carbon emissions

PR Newswire, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The organisation is a current subsidiary of Castle Intermediate Holding II Limited, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. Despite the lack of direct emissions data, PR Newswire's climate initiatives and reduction targets are not explicitly outlined. There are no documented reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other industry-standard frameworks. This suggests that while PR Newswire is part of a larger corporate structure, it has not yet established specific climate pledges or measurable reduction goals. As a subsidiary, PR Newswire may align its sustainability efforts with broader corporate strategies set by its parent company, but specific details on these initiatives are not available. The absence of reported emissions and reduction targets highlights a potential area for improvement in transparency and accountability regarding climate impact.
