Argos

Argos, a GB-based retail trade services company, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 12.84 billion kg CO2e in 2023. This total includes Scope 1 emissions of about 8.26 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 358.65 million kg CO2e (market-based: 350.29 million kg CO2e; location-based: 368.84 million kg CO2e), and Scope 3 emissions of roughly 16.85 billion kg CO2e. These emissions data are inherited from its parent company, Argos Limited.

Argos has established several climate commitments:

• A near-term intensity target to reduce direct and indirect CO2 emissions from purchased electrical energy, per tonne of cementitious material, by 21% by 2030, compared to 2021 levels (715 kg CO2/t cementitious material). This goal covers all Argos operations and regions, including cement, concrete, power generation, and aggregates businesses.
• A near-term absolute Scope 1 target to achieve a 29% reduction in emissions by 2030, against a 2006 baseline.
• A near-term intensity Scope 2 target (market-based method) to reduce specific CO2 emissions by 2.5% by 2030, compared to a 2021 baseline.
