Kathmandu's reported carbon emissions
As of 2020, Kathmandu's carbon emissions totalled approximately 6,251,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 2 sources globally. In New Zealand, the emissions for 2014 were about 839,000 kg CO2e, while in Australia, they reached approximately 6,554,000 kg CO2e for the same year. The company's emissions in Great Britain were about 104,000 kg CO2e in 2014, with a slight reduction to approximately 66,000 kg CO2e by 2015. Kathmandu has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a lack of formal commitments to reduce emissions at this time. The company has disclosed emissions primarily from Scope 2, which reflects indirect emissions from purchased electricity. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that Kathmandu may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability.
