Mdpi's reported carbon emissions
In 2019, Mdpi reported carbon emissions related to its activities, although specific total emissions figures were not disclosed. The emissions data includes a carbon footprint associated with the purchase activity in a Parmigiano Reggiano dairy shop, quantified at approximately 0.529 kg CO2e per unit of dairy produce. However, there is no detailed breakdown of Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions available. Mdpi has not established any formal reduction targets or commitments, nor have they joined any science-based targets initiative (SBTi) to guide their climate action. This lack of specified reduction initiatives indicates a need for further development in their climate strategy. Overall, while Mdpi has acknowledged its carbon footprint through specific activities, the absence of comprehensive emissions data and reduction commitments highlights an opportunity for improvement in their climate accountability and sustainability efforts.
