As of the latest available data, Meijer, Inc. does not report specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of detailed emissions data for the most recent year. The company is classified as a current subsidiary, and any emissions data would be cascaded from its parent organisation, Meijer, Inc. However, no specific reduction targets or climate commitments have been outlined in the provided information. Meijer, Inc. has not disclosed any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or other significant climate pledges. The absence of reported emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that Meijer may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. In the context of the retail industry, companies are increasingly expected to set ambitious climate targets and report on their emissions. Meijer's current lack of specific data and commitments may reflect broader industry challenges in transparency and accountability regarding carbon emissions.
