Lookers's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Lookers reported total carbon emissions of approximately 17,555,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 6,038,710 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This reflects a commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting, although no data for Scope 3 emissions was disclosed for that year. Comparatively, in 2021, Lookers' emissions were higher, with Scope 1 at approximately 19,117,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at about 7,062,000 kg CO2e. The company also reported significant Scope 3 emissions of around 5,592,428,000 kg CO2e, indicating a substantial impact from their value chain activities. Despite these figures, Lookers has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, which may limit their ability to demonstrate a proactive approach to climate action. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests a need for further commitment to sustainability practices within the automotive sector. Overall, Lookers' emissions data highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and the potential for future climate commitments to enhance their environmental performance.
