Dis-Chem group's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Dis-Chem Group reported total carbon emissions of approximately 12,926,090 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 1 emissions. This indicates that the emissions are primarily from direct sources, such as fuel combustion and company-owned facilities. Currently, there are no publicly disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from Dis-Chem Group, which suggests a need for further commitment to addressing climate change. As the company operates within the retail and pharmaceutical sectors, it is essential for them to develop and implement strategies aimed at reducing their carbon footprint in line with industry standards. Overall, while Dis-Chem Group has significant emissions, the absence of specific reduction initiatives highlights an opportunity for the organisation to enhance its climate commitments and contribute to broader sustainability goals.
