As of now, Five Below, Inc. has not cascaded any emissions data from a parent or related organisation, indicating that it operates independently in terms of climate reporting. The company has not set any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or made specific climate pledges, which may reflect a broader trend in the retail sector where many companies are beginning to prioritise sustainability but have yet to establish comprehensive reporting frameworks.
