ProQuest LLC's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Clarivate Plc

ProQuest LLC, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Clarivate Plc, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. ProQuest's climate initiatives and reduction targets are inherited from its parent company, Clarivate Plc. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for ProQuest itself are not detailed. Clarivate Plc has established various climate-related initiatives, including commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), which may guide ProQuest's environmental strategies. As of now, ProQuest has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or climate pledges. The lack of emissions data and defined targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments.
