Kmart Australia's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Kmart Australia reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 35,800,000,000 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 3 emissions. This includes emissions from the use of sold products (about 10,700,000,000 kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (approximately 21,500,000,000 kg CO2e), and the end-of-life treatment of sold products (around 1,400,000,000 kg CO2e). Currently, Kmart Australia has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they made any formal climate pledges. This lack of defined commitments places them in a challenging position within the retail industry, where many competitors are actively pursuing ambitious climate goals. As the company navigates its environmental impact, it will be crucial for Kmart Australia to develop and communicate clear strategies for reducing its carbon footprint in the future.
