Scholastic Corporation's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Scholastic Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 462.9 million kg CO2e. This figure encompasses emissions across all scopes, with Scope 1 emissions at about 14.3 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at approximately 13.1 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions amounting to around 435.5 million kg CO2e. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions include significant contributions from purchased goods and services (about 288.4 million kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 93.3 million kg CO2e). Despite the substantial emissions, Scholastic has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate strategy. The company does not appear to have cascaded any emissions data from a parent organisation, indicating that all reported figures are directly from Scholastic Corporation. As a leading entity in the publishing industry, Scholastic's climate commitments and emissions management will be crucial in addressing the broader environmental impacts associated with its operations.
