West Publishing Corporation, headquartered in the US, 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 includes Thomson Reuters Corporation, from which it inherits climate commitments and performance metrics. As a current subsidiary of Thomson Reuters, West Publishing Corporation aligns with the sustainability initiatives and targets set by its parent company. Thomson Reuters has established science-based targets (SBTi) aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions across its operations. While specific reduction targets for West Publishing Corporation are not detailed, the overarching commitments from Thomson Reuters reflect a strong dedication to climate action. The lack of direct emissions data suggests that West Publishing Corporation may still be in the process of developing its own specific climate strategies. Nonetheless, the company benefits from the sustainability framework and initiatives cascaded from Thomson Reuters, which include participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and adherence to industry standards for emissions reduction. In summary, while West Publishing Corporation does not currently report its own carbon emissions, it is supported by the climate commitments and performance metrics of Thomson Reuters Corporation, reinforcing its potential for future sustainability efforts.
