In 2020, Baby City reported an intensity of approximately 10,610 kg CO2e per employee, reflecting its operational impact on carbon emissions. The company has not disclosed specific Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data, nor has it set formal reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The emissions intensity figures indicate a trend in monitoring environmental performance, with previous years showing similar intensities: about 10,020 kg CO2e per employee in 2019 and approximately 10,760 kg CO2e in 2018. However, there are no documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. As of now, Baby City does not inherit emissions data from a parent company, and all reported figures are derived directly from its own operations. The absence of specific reduction initiatives suggests a need for further development in its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Baby City is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
