Ww Grainger

In 2023, W.W. Grainger reported total carbon emissions of approximately 86,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 30,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 56,000,000 kg CO2e. The company also disclosed significant Scope 3 emissions, including about 55,000,000,000 kg CO2e from the use of sold products and substantial contributions from upstream transportation and distribution, capital goods, and employee commuting. Over the years, Grainger has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. In 2021, the company achieved a total of approximately 99,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, reflecting a downward trend from previous years. However, specific reduction targets or initiatives have not been disclosed, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. Grainger's emissions intensity has shown a gradual decrease, with a reported intensity of about 0.006 kg CO2e per USD of revenue in 2022, down from higher values in earlier years. This trend suggests ongoing efforts to enhance operational efficiency and reduce emissions relative to revenue. Overall, while W.W. Grainger has made strides in emissions reporting and intensity reduction, the absence of defined reduction targets highlights the need for a more structured approach to climate commitments moving forward.
