The trend indicates a rising trajectory in emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which includes significant contributions from business travel and fuel-related activities. LEWIS GROUP has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company continues to operate within the retail sector in South Africa (ZA), where climate commitments are increasingly critical for sustainability and regulatory compliance. Overall, while LEWIS GROUP's emissions data highlights the scale of their carbon footprint, the lack of defined reduction strategies suggests an area for potential improvement in their climate commitments.
