Lidl Stiftung &co. Verwaltungs-GmbH's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Lidl Stiftung & Co. Verwaltungs-GmbH reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,346,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 949,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which primarily arise from direct operations, and 36,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, associated with purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. The majority of their emissions, about 1,336,931,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which encompasses indirect emissions from the entire value chain. Comparatively, in 2021, Lidl's total emissions were around 1,368,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 1,411,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 37,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 1,369,829,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight reduction in total emissions year-on-year. Lidl has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor have they reported any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that while Lidl is aware of its carbon footprint, it may not yet have formalised strategies for significant emissions reductions. The emissions data for Lidl is cascaded from its parent company, Lidl Stiftung & Co. Verwaltungs-GmbH, indicating a corporate family relationship that influences its reporting and sustainability practices.
