Big Lots's reported carbon emissions
Big Lots, headquartered in the US, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data, as no figures are available for recent years. Consequently, there are no reported emissions in terms of Scope 1, 2, or 3. Additionally, the company has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. In the absence of specific emissions data, it is important to note that Big Lots has not publicly outlined any significant climate commitments or initiatives aimed at reducing its carbon footprint. This lack of transparency may reflect broader industry trends where companies are increasingly expected to disclose their environmental impact and set measurable targets for emissions reductions. As the retail sector continues to evolve, stakeholders are encouraged to monitor Big Lots for future updates regarding their climate strategies and any potential commitments to sustainability practices.
