In 2020, CHEP (U.S.A.) Inc. reported carbon emissions of approximately 800 kg CO2e per unit delivered, reflecting a reduction from 1,000 kg CO2e in 2019 and 1,200 kg CO2e in 2018. These figures represent Scope 1 and 2 emissions, indicating the direct and indirect emissions associated with their operations. The data is cascaded from their parent company, Brambles Limited, which oversees their sustainability initiatives. Despite these reductions, CHEP has not disclosed specific reduction targets or commitments through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of detailed emissions data for Scope 3 suggests a need for further transparency in their upstream and downstream emissions reporting. As a current subsidiary of Brambles Limited, CHEP aligns its climate strategies with the broader corporate family, although specific initiatives or targets have not been outlined. The company continues to focus on improving its carbon footprint while contributing to industry-wide sustainability efforts.
