In 2021, LKQ Europe reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 261,952,960 kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions, which includes 94,624,520 kg CO2e from mobile combustion and 121,579,300 kg CO2e from stationary combustion. The company also recorded about 69,111,920 kg CO2e in Scope 2 emissions, primarily from purchased electricity (68,390,610 kg CO2e) and purchased heat (721,310 kg CO2e). Additionally, Scope 3 emissions were reported at approximately 12,265,340 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, LKQ Europe has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. There are no documented SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets or other climate pledges currently in place. The emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, indicating that these figures are independently reported by LKQ Europe. Overall, LKQ Europe is positioned within the automotive parts industry, which is increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon reduction, yet it currently lacks formal commitments to reduce its carbon footprint.
