Wesfarmers has consistently reported emissions across all three scopes, with a notable focus on Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which are directly linked to their operations. The company has not established any formal reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future development in their sustainability strategy. Overall, Wesfarmers's emissions data reflects a significant operational footprint, and while they are actively monitoring and reporting their emissions, the absence of specific reduction commitments suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate action in the coming years.
