In 2020, Hudson's Bay reported total carbon emissions of approximately 54,188,000 kg CO2e. This marked a decrease from 2019, when emissions were about 65,994,000 kg CO2e, and from 2018, which saw emissions of approximately 76,302,000 kg CO2e. The data indicates a significant downward trend in emissions over these years. However, Hudson's Bay has not disclosed specific information regarding Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, nor have they set any formal reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its carbon footprint, it may not have formalised commitments to reduce emissions in the near future. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that Hudson's Bay is reporting independently. The company has not publicly committed to any climate pledges or initiatives that would further outline its approach to sustainability and carbon reduction.
