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.
