The Orion Publishing Group Ltd's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Lagardere SA

The Orion Publishing Group Ltd, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. However, the company is part of a corporate family that cascades climate commitments and performance data from its parent organizations. The emissions data and climate initiatives are inherited from Hachette Livre SA at the first cascade level and Lagardere SA at the second cascade level. This relationship suggests that The Orion Publishing Group Ltd aligns its climate strategies with the broader commitments of these parent companies. While specific reduction targets or achievements are not detailed for The Orion Publishing Group Ltd, the overarching corporate family is likely engaged in various sustainability initiatives, including those related to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). As a current subsidiary, The Orion Publishing Group Ltd is expected to adhere to the climate pledges and reduction strategies set forth by its parent organizations, which may include commitments to reduce Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions in line with industry standards. However, without specific data or targets available, the exact nature of these commitments remains vague.
