Elgiganten A/S's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Elkjøp Nordic As

Elgiganten A/S, headquartered in Denmark (DK), currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Elkjøp Nordic AS, which may influence its sustainability practices and reporting. Elgiganten A/S has not publicly disclosed any specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate initiatives. However, it is important to note that the company is part of a broader corporate family that includes Currys plc, which may have its own climate commitments and targets that could indirectly impact Elgiganten's sustainability strategies. As a subsidiary, Elgiganten may benefit from the climate initiatives and performance metrics established by its parent organisations, but specific details on emissions reductions or climate pledges are not currently available. The absence of direct emissions data highlights a potential area for improvement in transparency and accountability regarding their environmental impact.
