In 2022, Baby City reported total carbon emissions of approximately 74,583,000 kg CO2e, which includes 72,542,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 2,041,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (market-based). The Scope 3 emissions were recorded at about 900,977 kg CO2e. This represents a decrease from 2021, where total emissions were approximately 89,432,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 78,108,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at 11,325,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Baby City has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of defined reduction strategies suggests a need for further engagement in sustainability practices within the industry context. Overall, while Baby City has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of concrete climate pledges or targets indicates an opportunity for improvement in their environmental impact strategy.
