Homebase Group Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Wesfarmers Limited

Homebase Group Limited, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Wesfarmers Limited, which influences its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As part of its corporate family relationship, Homebase Group Limited's climate initiatives and performance metrics are cascaded from Wesfarmers Limited. This includes adherence to industry standards and frameworks such as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and Climate Action 100+ (CA100), both of which are linked to Wesfarmers' sustainability strategies. While specific reduction targets or achievements for Homebase Group Limited are not detailed, the overarching commitments from Wesfarmers indicate a focus on reducing carbon emissions and enhancing sustainability practices across its subsidiaries. The absence of direct emissions data suggests that Homebase Group Limited is in the process of developing its own climate strategy, potentially aligning with the broader goals set by its parent company. In summary, while Homebase Group Limited does not currently report specific emissions figures or reduction targets, it is positioned within a corporate structure that prioritises climate action and sustainability, guided by the initiatives of Wesfarmers Limited.
