B&Q's reported carbon emissions

B&Q, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data for the most recent year, nor does it report specific reduction targets or initiatives. The company has not disclosed any emissions figures, including Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, nor has it outlined any commitments to climate pledges or science-based targets. As a result, there is no quantifiable information regarding B&Q's carbon footprint or climate commitments at this time.
