Despite these reductions, Lidl has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any formal climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while Lidl is actively monitoring and reporting its emissions, it may not yet have formalised its long-term climate commitments. Overall, Lidl's emissions data reflects a trend towards reduction, particularly in Scope 1 emissions, while the company continues to navigate its broader climate impact across all scopes.
