Let us know if this data was useful to you
Kmart Australia has not publicly disclosed specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company operates as a current subsidiary of Wesfarmers Limited, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While Kmart Australia does not have defined reduction targets or specific climate pledges, it is important to note that its parent company, Wesfarmers Limited, has established initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions. These initiatives may indirectly impact Kmart's sustainability efforts, although specific details regarding Kmart's own targets or achievements are not available. As a subsidiary, Kmart Australia may inherit broader sustainability strategies from Wesfarmers, which is committed to addressing climate change and reducing its overall carbon footprint. However, without specific emissions data or reduction targets from Kmart itself, a comprehensive assessment of its climate commitments remains limited.
