Jysk, headquartered in Denmark, has set ambitious climate commitments aimed at significantly reducing its carbon emissions. Although specific emissions data for the most recent year is not available, the company has committed to a substantial reduction of its absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50.4% by the fiscal year 2032, using the fiscal year 2022 as a baseline. This target aligns with the science-based targets initiative (SBTi) and is designed to support global efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C. In addition to its direct emissions reductions, Jysk aims for 72.5% of its suppliers, measured by emissions from purchased goods and services, to establish their own science-based targets by the fiscal year 2028. This commitment reflects Jysk's recognition of the importance of addressing emissions across its entire supply chain. Overall, Jysk's climate strategy demonstrates a proactive approach to sustainability within the retail sector, focusing on both operational efficiencies and supplier engagement to drive meaningful reductions in carbon emissions.
