Summary

In this module, we correct the collected reported emission data from sustainability reports from the five biggest publishers in a machine-readable format. Data includes tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent from as early as 2006 and across all emission scopes (1, 2, 3). These are the basis for further analysis of climate impact to be published in future modules. There were a few copy-paste errors that needed to be corrected before proceeding with the analysis.
