Wesfarmers's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Wesfarmers reported total carbon emissions of approximately 34,000,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 845,900,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 350,800,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and 34,000,000,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). The company has made significant strides in its climate commitments, focusing on reducing its Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which totalled approximately 1,196,700,000 kg CO2e for the year. Despite these figures, Wesfarmers has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not have formalised strategies in place to achieve significant reductions in the near future. Wesfarmers operates in a sector where emissions management is critical, and its commitment to addressing climate change will be essential for aligning with global sustainability goals. The company’s emissions data reflects its operational impact, and ongoing transparency will be vital for stakeholders monitoring its environmental performance.
