Carbon's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Carbon reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,000,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 1,100,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 280,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 3,810,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions included 1,100,000,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services, 90,000,000 kg CO2e from waste generated in operations, and 340,000,000 kg CO2e from fuel and energy-related activities. Carbon has committed to achieving net-zero emissions across all scopes by 2050, with interim targets set to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030 from a 2018 baseline. Additionally, the company aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions by the same percentage within the same timeframe. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and reflect a commitment to significant climate action in the retail sector. The emissions data and targets are not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that Carbon is independently reporting its climate commitments and performance.
