In 2023, AutoZone reported total carbon emissions of approximately 199,695,000 kg CO2e in the US, with Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity accounting for about 167,116,000 kg CO2e. Globally, their emissions reached approximately 456,205,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 257,975,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 198,230,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. Over the years, AutoZone has shown a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of approximately 211,505,000 kg CO2e in the US, down from about 204,458,000 kg CO2e in 2021. This indicates a slight improvement in their emissions management. Despite these figures, AutoZone has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at achieving significant emissions reductions. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not have formalised commitments to reduce them in line with industry standards or climate pledges.
