Brown Thomas's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Brown Thomas reported total carbon emissions of approximately 880,800 kg CO2e, a slight increase from 807,800 kg CO2e in 2021. The emissions data for 2020 indicates a higher total of about 1,108,000 kg CO2e. These figures reflect the company's Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources and indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. Despite the fluctuations in emissions over the years, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or significant climate pledges from Brown Thomas. The absence of specific initiatives or commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As the retail sector increasingly prioritises sustainability, Brown Thomas's future climate commitments will be crucial in aligning with industry standards and addressing climate change effectively.
