Springer Nature Limited, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures.

The company has not publicly disclosed any reduction targets or initiatives, such as those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges.
