Webmd's reported carbon emissions

WebMD currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data or detailed climate commitments. As of now, there are no reported figures regarding their emissions in kg CO2e, nor are there any established reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their sustainability efforts. This lack of publicly available information suggests that WebMD may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy.
