Emart's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Emart reported total carbon emissions of approximately 6,825,396,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were about 24,250,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 466,353,000 kg CO2e. The majority of emissions stemmed from Scope 3, which accounted for about 6,825,396,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, Emart's total emissions were approximately 6,333,404,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 32,750,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 508,919,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a rise in emissions from 2022 to 2023, particularly in Scope 3 emissions. Emart has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it appear to have cascaded any targets from parent or related organizations. The company is actively engaged in sustainability reporting, as evidenced by its disclosures to the CDP, but lacks formal commitments such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets or other industry-standard climate pledges. Overall, while Emart's emissions data reflects a substantial carbon footprint, the absence of defined reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate action framework.
