FreshDirect's reported carbon emissions

FreshDirect, headquartered in the US, currently does not have available emissions data for the most recent year. As a current subsidiary of Fresh Direct, LLC, the company has not disclosed specific carbon emissions figures, including Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. In terms of climate commitments, there are no documented reduction targets or initiatives reported.
