Bunnings, headquartered in Australia, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. However, the company is part of the Bunnings Group Limited, which is a subsidiary of Wesfarmers Limited. Emissions data and climate commitments may be influenced by the parent company's initiatives. Wesfarmers Limited has set various climate commitments, including targets for emissions reductions, which may cascade down to Bunnings. While specific reduction targets for Bunnings are not detailed, the overarching goals from Wesfarmers include commitments to sustainability and reducing carbon footprints across its subsidiaries. As of now, Bunnings has not publicly disclosed any specific Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data, nor have they outlined any specific reduction initiatives or SBTi targets. The absence of this data suggests that Bunnings is still in the process of developing its climate strategy and emissions reporting framework. In summary, while Bunnings is part of a larger corporate structure with climate commitments, specific emissions data and reduction targets for the company itself are currently unavailable.
