De Bijenkorf, a department store based in NL, is committed to reducing its carbon footprint. In 2024, the company reported approximately 2.35 million kg CO2e in Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Scope 1 emissions for 2024 were about 767,000 kg CO2e, comprising 336,000 kg CO2e from mobile combustion and 431,000 kg CO2e from stationary combustion. Scope 2 emissions, primarily from purchased electricity, amounted to approximately 1.59 million kg CO2e.

In 2023, De Bijenkorf's total reported emissions were approximately 2.64 million kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of about 711,000 kg CO2e (323,000 kg CO2e from mobile combustion and 388,000 kg CO2e from stationary combustion) and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 2.27 million kg CO2e from purchased electricity. Scope 3 emissions for 2023 were reported for purchased goods and services (about 200,053 kg CO2e), end-of-life treatment of sold products (about 8,375 kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (about 75,621 kg CO2e).

Looking back to 2022, De Bijenkorf's Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled approximately 2.99 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 880,000 kg CO2e (441,000 kg CO2e from mobile combustion and 439,000 kg CO2e from stationary combustion) and Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity at approximately 2.15 million kg CO2e.

De Bijenkorf has set a near-term target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2023 as a baseline. The company also has a long-term target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% by 2035, again based on a 2023 baseline. Furthermore, De Bijenkorf aims to achieve net-zero emissions in its own operations (Scopes 1 and 2) by 2030. Key initiatives to support this net-zero goal include electrifying its fleet and transitioning to renewable energy sources. De Bijenkorf has also signed the Climate Pledge.

This emissions data is inherited from its parent organisation, Divisie Bijenkorf B.V., as De Bijenkorf is a current subsidiary at cascade level 2.
