Kaufland's reported carbon emissions
In 2019, Kaufland reported total carbon emissions of approximately 36.5 million kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 5.4 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 4.6 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions amounting to around 31.8 million kg CO2e. The data reflects a comprehensive assessment of their greenhouse gas emissions across all relevant scopes. Kaufland has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. There are no reported Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or other formal climate pledges at this time. The absence of such commitments suggests that while emissions data is available, the company may still be in the early stages of developing a structured approach to climate action. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that Kaufland's reporting is independent. As the company continues to assess its environmental impact, future commitments and targets may emerge to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability.
