PR Newswire's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from PE Castle Holding III Limited

PR Newswire, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The organisation is a current subsidiary of PR Newswire, Inc., and does not inherit emissions data from its parent company or any other related entities. In terms of climate commitments, PR Newswire has not established any documented reduction targets or initiatives, including those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The lack of specific climate pledges or reduction strategies suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive sustainability framework. As the industry increasingly prioritises carbon neutrality and transparency, PR Newswire's future commitments and actions will be crucial in aligning with global climate goals.
