The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, such as those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). However, GS Retail continues to monitor and report its emissions across all three scopes, indicating a commitment to transparency in its climate impact. The absence of formal reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may need to establish more concrete strategies to mitigate its carbon footprint in the future. Overall, GS Retail's emissions data highlights the ongoing challenges faced by the retail sector in managing carbon outputs, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which often represent the largest share of total emissions for retail companies.
