Hunter Boots's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Hunter Boots reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2.8 million tonnes CO2e, comprising 108,000 tonnes CO2e from Scope 1, about 10.1 million tonnes CO2e from Scope 2, and 2.7 million tonnes CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data indicates a significant reliance on indirect emissions, particularly from energy use and upstream activities. In 2021, the company recorded similar emissions, with Scope 1 at 108,000 tonnes CO2e, Scope 2 at about 10.1 million tonnes CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching approximately 2.7 million tonnes CO2e. The emissions from business travel and upstream transportation were notable contributors to their overall carbon footprint. Despite these figures, Hunter Boots has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or participation in frameworks like the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). This suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions profile, it may need to enhance its climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability.
