In 2016, Jumia Group reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,609,174,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: about 315,603,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 755,109,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and around 538,462,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This data highlights the company's significant carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 2 emissions, which are primarily associated with energy consumption. Despite the substantial emissions figures, Jumia Group has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies or climate pledges suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, Jumia Group's future actions will be crucial in addressing its environmental impact and aligning with global climate goals.
