Costco Wholesale Canada Ltd.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Costco Wholesale Corporation

Costco Wholesale Canada Ltd. currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Costco Wholesale Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and performance metrics. While there are no documented reduction targets or specific climate pledges from Costco Wholesale Canada Ltd., it is important to note that emissions data and climate initiatives may be inherited from its parent company, Costco Wholesale Corporation. This relationship suggests that any climate commitments or performance metrics may align with those of the parent organisation. Costco Wholesale Corporation has been active in addressing climate change, and its initiatives may include broader corporate sustainability goals. However, without specific data or targets from Costco Wholesale Canada Ltd., it is challenging to provide a detailed overview of its carbon emissions and climate commitments. In summary, Costco Wholesale Canada Ltd. does not currently report specific emissions data or reduction targets, and its climate initiatives may be influenced by the broader strategies of its parent company, Costco Wholesale Corporation.
