In 2020, ULINE reported total carbon emissions of approximately 250,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3, with significant contributions from purchased goods and services (about 200,000 kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 50,490 kg CO2e). Scope 1 emissions were about 567 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 875 kg CO2e. In 2019, ULINE's emissions were slightly higher, with Scope 3 emissions reaching about 319,000 kg CO2e, including around 265,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services and 54,000 kg CO2e from upstream transportation and distribution. Scope 1 emissions were recorded at approximately 666 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions at about 978 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, ULINE has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments suggests that ULINE may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy.
