Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not have available carbon emissions data for the most recent year, nor does it report specific reduction targets or commitments related to climate action. The absence of emissions data suggests that the company may not have publicly disclosed its carbon footprint, which typically includes Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. As of now, there are no significant climate initiatives or commitments reported by Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation, including any targets set under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other recognised frameworks. The company does not appear to inherit emissions data from a parent organisation, indicating that it operates independently in terms of climate reporting. In the context of the sporting goods industry, companies are increasingly expected to disclose their carbon emissions and set ambitious reduction targets to align with global climate goals. However, without specific data or commitments from Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation, it remains unclear how the company is addressing its environmental impact.
