The company has made some progress in reducing its Scope 1 emissions from about 1,411,000 kg CO2e in 2021 to 949,000 kg CO2e in 2022. Despite these reductions, Lidl has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests that while Lidl is aware of its carbon footprint, it may need to establish clearer commitments to enhance its climate strategy. Overall, Lidl's emissions data highlights the significant impact of Scope 3 emissions, which represent the majority of its carbon footprint, indicating a need for comprehensive strategies to address emissions across its entire value chain.
