Hermes Europe's reported carbon emissions
In 2013, Hermes Europe reported total carbon emissions of approximately 300,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 15,400 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and about 364,400,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3, specifically from purchased goods and services. This indicates a slight reduction in Scope 1 emissions from 2012, where they were approximately 331,900,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions decreased from about 19,100 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Hermes Europe has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The company’s emissions data highlights the significant impact of Scope 3 emissions, which account for the majority of their carbon footprint. Hermes Europe’s commitment to addressing climate change remains unclear, as no formal reduction targets have been established. The logistics and delivery sector is under increasing pressure to enhance sustainability practices, and Hermes will need to develop comprehensive strategies to align with industry standards and expectations for carbon reduction.
