Tesco PLC

Tesco PLC, a UK-headquartered company in the Other Business Services sector, has committed to significant climate action and emissions reductions.

For the most recent reported year, 2026, Tesco PLC's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 748,889,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were about 5,992,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were approximately 15,709,312,000 kg CO2e.

Tesco PLC has set ambitious climate commitments, including a net-zero target across its entire value chain by 2050, validated in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Key reduction targets include:

• Near-term (SBTi validated):
  • Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 82.6% by FY2032 from a FY2015 base year.
  • Reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 55% by FY2032 from a FY2019 base year (excluding FLAG emissions).
  • Reduce absolute Scope 3 FLAG (Forest, Land and Agriculture) GHG emissions by 39.4% by FY2032 from a FY2019 base year.
• Long-term (SBTi validated):
  • Further reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by FY2050 from a FY2015 base year.
  • Reduce Scope 3 emissions by 90% by FY2050 from a FY2019 base year (excluding FLAG emissions).
  • Reduce absolute Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions by 72% by FY2050 from a FY2019 base year.

Additionally, Tesco has a voluntary target to achieve net-zero emissions from its own operations (Scopes 1 and 2) by 2035, which is 15 years ahead of its SBTi-validated target for these scopes. The company has already surpassed its 2025 target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 60% against its baseline, achieving a 61% reduction by February 2023. Tesco also aims to source 100% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
