Debenhams plc's reported carbon emissions
In 2016, Debenhams plc reported total carbon emissions of approximately 14241000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, about 125453000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and around 64442000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This indicates a significant reliance on indirect emissions, particularly from Scope 2, which encompasses energy-related emissions. Debenhams has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may not have formalised commitments to align with industry standards or frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Overall, while Debenhams has provided emissions data across various scopes, their climate commitments and reduction strategies remain unclear, highlighting a potential area for improvement in their sustainability efforts.
