Mary Kay's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, Mary Kay reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,616,937,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed equally across all three scopes: Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3, each contributing about 538,979,000 kg CO2e. Despite the significant emissions figures, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing these emissions. This lack of specific commitments may reflect broader industry trends, where many companies are still in the early stages of developing comprehensive climate strategies. Mary Kay's headquarters is located in the United States, and while they have not set formal reduction targets, their sustainability and social impact report indicates an awareness of the importance of addressing climate change. As the company moves forward, it may consider establishing measurable goals to enhance its climate commitments and align with global sustainability efforts.
