This indicates a slight reduction in total emissions year-on-year. Lidl has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not have formalised strategies in place to address them. The focus on Scope 3 emissions, which typically encompass the majority of a company's carbon footprint, highlights the importance of supply chain management in Lidl's overall climate strategy. Overall, Lidl's emissions data reflects a significant environmental impact, particularly from Scope 3 emissions, and underscores the need for comprehensive climate action and commitment to reduction strategies in the retail sector.
