Circle K's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Circle K reported significant carbon emissions totalling approximately 173,458,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 674,834,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and a staggering 152,705,786,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions, which includes both the use of sold products and purchased goods and services. This data is cascaded from its parent company, Circle K Stores Inc., reflecting the company's comprehensive approach to emissions reporting. Despite the extensive emissions figures, Circle K has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of defined targets suggests a need for further development in their sustainability strategy. The company is part of a broader industry context where many organisations are increasingly focusing on reducing their carbon footprints and enhancing transparency in emissions reporting. As a current subsidiary of Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc., Circle K's emissions data is influenced by the corporate family's sustainability practices. However, without specific reduction initiatives or commitments, the path forward for Circle K in addressing its carbon emissions remains unclear.
