MediRite (Pty) Ltd.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Shoprite Holdings Ltd

MediRite (Pty) Ltd., headquartered in South Africa (ZA), currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Shoprite Holdings Ltd., which cascades its emissions data and climate commitments down to MediRite. As such, any climate-related targets or achievements would be derived from the parent company's initiatives. MediRite has not publicly outlined specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As part of the Shoprite Holdings Ltd. corporate family, MediRite may benefit from broader sustainability efforts and performance metrics established by its parent organisation. However, without specific emissions data or reduction targets, it is challenging to assess the company's individual climate impact or commitments at this time.
