Salon.com, LLC's reported carbon emissions

Salon.com, LLC, headquartered in the US, currently does not have any publicly available carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of specific figures in kg CO2e. Furthermore, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges associated with the company. As a current subsidiary, Salon.com, LLC may inherit climate-related data and commitments from its parent organisation; however, no specific details regarding such cascaded information have been provided.

In the broader context of the media industry, many organisations are increasingly adopting science-based targets and sustainability initiatives to mitigate their environmental impact.
