In 2020, ANIXTER LTD reported total carbon emissions of approximately 49,955,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 85,425,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. This marked a significant reduction from 2019, where emissions were about 57,683,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 0 kg CO2e for Scope 2. The company also saw a decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 58,782,000 kg CO2e in 2018. Despite these reductions, ANIXTER LTD has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company operates within an industry context that increasingly prioritises sustainability and carbon footprint reduction, yet it currently lacks formal commitments to align with frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Overall, while ANIXTER LTD has made strides in reducing its emissions, further transparency regarding its climate commitments and future reduction strategies would enhance its sustainability profile.
