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 reduction trend over these years. However, Hudson's Bay has not disclosed specific information regarding Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, nor have they set formal reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of detailed reduction strategies suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not have established comprehensive plans to address them. Overall, Hudson's Bay's emissions data reflects a positive trajectory towards reducing carbon output, but further transparency and commitment to specific climate initiatives would enhance their sustainability profile.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
