YP.com's reported carbon emissions

YP.com, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The company is identified as a current subsidiary and inherits its climate commitments and data from its parent organisation, YP.com, at a cascade level of 2. Despite the lack of specific emissions data, YP.com has not outlined any documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This suggests that while the company may be part of broader corporate sustainability initiatives, it has not yet established its own measurable goals or commitments in relation to carbon emissions reduction. In the context of the industry, many companies are increasingly adopting science-based targets and engaging in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to align with global climate goals. However, without specific data or commitments from YP.com, it remains unclear how the company plans to address its carbon footprint or contribute to climate action.
