The Nielsen Company B.V.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Nielsen Holdings plc

The Nielsen Company B.V., headquartered in the Netherlands (NL), currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures.

As of the latest available information, Nielsen Holdings plc has not set specific science-based targets (SBTi) for carbon reduction, nor have they committed to any formal climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that The Nielsen Company B.V. may be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy.
