Decathlon, a French retail trade services company, reported an estimated total of approximately 7.95 billion kg CO2e in global carbon emissions for 2025. This includes about 32.48 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and approximately 7.88 billion kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. Scope 3 emissions in 2025 were estimated to be around 7.84 billion kg CO2e, with significant contributors including purchased goods and services (approximately 5.39 billion kg CO2e), use of sold products (approximately 863.67 million kg CO2e), and downstream transportation and distribution (approximately 886.93 million kg CO2e).

In 2024, Decathlon's total global emissions were approximately 8.10 billion kg CO2e, comprising about 31.45 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 and approximately 8.03 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2. Scope 3 emissions for 2024 were approximately 8.04 billion kg CO2e.

Looking back, in 2023, Decathlon's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 36.62 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were about 8.33 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 data was not available for this year. In 2022, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 37.27 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were about 9.43 billion kg CO2e. For 2021, Scope 1 emissions were around 39.68 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 9.41 billion kg CO2e.

Decathlon has set ambitious climate commitments, with some targets inherited from its parent company, Decathlon SE. The company is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. Near-term Science Based Targets (SBTi) include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2021 base year. Additionally, Decathlon aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 42% within the same timeframe. Long-term SBTi targets include a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2050 from a 2021 base year, and a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions within the same period. Earlier SBTi commitments from 2016 include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2026, and reducing Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 53% per value added over the same timeframe. The company also committed that 90% of its suppliers, by emissions covering purchased goods and services, would have science-based targets by 2026.
