GALERIA Kaufhof GmbH's reported carbon emissions

In 2012, GALERIA Kaufhof GmbH reported total carbon emissions of approximately 10,300,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 77.5 kg CO2e, which comprise 50.2 kg CO2e from fugitive emissions and 27.3 kg CO2e from stationary combustion. Scope 2 emissions, primarily from purchased electricity, accounted for approximately 205.8 kg CO2e. The majority of their emissions, approximately 10,300,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which includes emissions from business travel (3.0 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (21.3 kg CO2e). Despite the significant emissions reported, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges disclosed by GALERIA Kaufhof GmbH. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. As the retail industry increasingly focuses on sustainability, it is essential for GALERIA Kaufhof GmbH to establish clear targets and strategies to mitigate its carbon footprint in alignment with global climate goals.
