Publisher Springer Nature reaches carbon neutrality
Global research publisher Springer Nature Group has today (8 April) confirmed that it has reached carbon-neutral status for emissions associated with its offices and business travel.
The report confirms that Springer Nature is net carbon neutral across its offices, fleets and travel flights
As outlined in the company’s latest sustainability report, Springer Nature has met a target set in March 2020 to become carbon neutral.
Emissions from the group have fallen by around 59% compared to 2019, driven mainly by the impacts of Covid-19 lockdowns, while increased green energy purchasing and offsetting have enabled the group to become carbon neutral for its offices.
In both corporate social responsibility and in content production as a major academic publisher, Springer Nature had a big 2020.
‘Urgent Global Challenges’
A kind of corporate-responsibility victory lap, Springer Nature’s fourth annually released Sustainable Business Report touts progress at the company in environmental, social, and governance issues and names “steps being taken to champion open science, support delivery of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), and the work it is doing to reduce its own environmental impact.”
Released today (April 8) from the German-British academic publisher’s Berlin and London offices, the report offers not only a chance for the company to reaffirm its commitment to socially and environmentally progressive concepts but also to list some top-line numbers about its broad international reach and levels of output and activity.
