In 2020, total emissions were around 43.16 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 544.66 million kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 data not available but location-based Scope 2 emissions at about 698.70 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 41.92 billion kg CO2e.

Auchan Retail, a subsidiary, has set several near-term absolute reduction targets. It commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46.2% by 2030, from a 2019 base year. Additionally, Auchan Retail aims to increase its annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 14.7% in 2019 to 100% by 2030. For Scope 3, Auchan Retail commits to a 25% absolute reduction in GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, end-of-life treatment of sold products, and use of sold products by 2030, from a 2020 base year. These targets, cascaded from the ultimate parent organization ELO S.A., are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.

Furthermore, New Immo Holding, another entity, aims to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 (location-based) emissions by 20% between 2022 and 2023, achieving 66.4 kg CO2e/m²/year. Specifically for Scope 1, New Immo Holding achieved a 25% reduction in the same period. For 2030, New Immo Holding targets a 70% reduction in emissions (9,482 tonnes CO2e) compared to 2022 (31,608 tonnes CO2e). Auchan also reported achieving a 25% reduction in energy consumption in stores (versus 2014) and a 20% reduction in carbon emissions from goods transport by 2022.
