The data from 2019 shows Scope 1 emissions in Ireland at approximately 13,394,020 kg CO2e, but no further emissions data was disclosed for that year. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Lidl has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate action within the organisation. Overall, Lidl's emissions profile highlights the importance of addressing both direct and indirect emissions to meet future sustainability goals.
