Coles's reported carbon emissions

Coles, headquartered in Australia, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no figures are available. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their initiatives. This lack of publicly available information on emissions and commitments suggests that Coles may still be in the process of developing or formalising its climate strategy. As the retail sector increasingly focuses on sustainability, it is essential for companies like Coles to establish clear emissions reduction goals and transparent reporting to align with industry standards and stakeholder expectations.
