FreshDirect's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, FreshDirect reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,886,000,000 kg CO2e, a reduction from about 4,056,000,000 kg CO2e in 2019. The emissions breakdown for 2020 includes approximately 1,579,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, about 1,457,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and around 488,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Despite these figures, FreshDirect has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction strategies highlights a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. As the company continues to navigate its environmental impact, further transparency and goal-setting could enhance its sustainability profile within the industry.
