Debenhams plc's reported carbon emissions
In 2009, Debenhams plc reported total carbon emissions of approximately 18811000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 188873000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 4092000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This data reflects the company's operational impact on climate change, with Scope 2 emissions being the most significant contributor. Debenhams has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies within the organisation. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent company, indicating that Debenhams plc independently reports its carbon footprint. The company’s commitment to addressing climate change remains unclear, highlighting an opportunity for improvement in its sustainability practices.
