In 2020, the total emissions were approximately 1,367,675,000 kg CO2e, with similar trends observed in previous years. Despite these figures, Lidl has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while Lidl is aware of its emissions, it may not have formalised commitments to reduce them in line with industry standards or climate pledges. Overall, Lidl's emissions data highlights the significant impact of Scope 3 emissions, which dominate the total emissions profile, indicating a need for comprehensive strategies to address these upstream and downstream activities.
