Clicks Group has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, which may limit their ability to demonstrate a proactive approach to mitigating climate impact. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while they are tracking emissions, they may not yet have formalised strategies to achieve significant reductions in the near future. Overall, Clicks Group's emissions data reflects a growing concern for climate impact, but the lack of clear reduction commitments may pose challenges in aligning with industry standards for sustainability and climate action.
