Random House LLC, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA, which influences its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As part of its climate strategy, Random House LLC inherits reduction initiatives and targets from its parent company, Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA. However, there are no documented reduction targets or specific climate pledges available for Random House LLC at this time. The absence of direct emissions data suggests that the company may be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments or reporting. In the broader context, Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA has been active in setting science-based targets and participating in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). These initiatives aim to drive significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions across their operations, which may indirectly benefit Random House LLC through corporate family relationships. Overall, while specific emissions data and reduction targets for Random House LLC are not currently available, the company's alignment with its parent organisation's climate initiatives indicates a commitment to addressing carbon emissions in the publishing industry.
