In 2024, Truworths reported carbon emissions of approximately 95,920 kg CO2e from Scope 1, primarily from company cars' fuel, and about 2,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, associated with their head office operations. In 2023, the company’s Scope 2 emissions from distribution centres were significantly higher, at approximately 668,880 kg CO2e, alongside the same 2,000 kg CO2e from their head office. Looking back to 2022, Truworths disclosed a total of approximately 15,555,520 kg CO2e across all scopes, with Scope 1 emissions at about 1,555,520 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity at around 69,870,320 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 9,603,330 kg CO2e. The previous years also show a consistent pattern of emissions, with 2021 reporting approximately 17,674,460 kg CO2e in Scope 1, 73,264,710 kg CO2e in Scope 2, and 6,563,570 kg CO2e in Scope 3. Despite these figures, Truworths has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor do they participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Their emissions data is sourced directly from Truworths International Limited, with no cascaded data from a parent or related organization. Overall, while Truworths has made strides in reporting their emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
