Spartannash's reported carbon emissions

This marked a significant increase from their 2021 emissions, which were about 70,281,000 kg CO2e, all attributed to Scope 1 emissions. Despite the increase in emissions, SpartanNash has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As a major player in the food distribution industry, SpartanNash's emissions profile reflects the broader challenges faced by companies in reducing their carbon impact while managing operational demands. The company’s commitment to addressing climate change remains to be clearly defined in terms of measurable targets and initiatives.
