The Economist's reported carbon emissions
The Economist has not publicly disclosed any carbon emissions data for the most recent year, nor does it appear to have established specific reduction targets or initiatives. As such, there are no available figures regarding their carbon footprint in kg CO2e, nor any commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. Without emissions data or reduction targets, it is unclear how The Economist is addressing climate change within its operations. The absence of this information suggests a need for greater transparency and commitment to sustainability practices in line with industry standards.
