This indicates a significant reliance on both direct and indirect emissions sources, with Scope 1 emissions primarily stemming from operational activities and Scope 3 emissions reflecting the broader supply chain impacts. In 2021, the company recorded total emissions of about 611,600,000 kg CO2e in Brazil, with Scope 1 emissions at 420,700,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 103,700,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 87,200,000 kg CO2e. This data highlights the company's substantial carbon footprint and the importance of addressing emissions across all scopes. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Companhia Brasileira De Distribuicao has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect a broader industry trend where companies are increasingly scrutinised for their climate actions and transparency. Overall, while Companhia Brasileira De Distribuicao has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of clear reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate strategy and align with global sustainability goals.
