Meijer, headquartered in the US, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Meijer, Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. Despite the lack of detailed emissions data, Meijer is engaged in various climate initiatives, although no specific reduction targets or commitments have been disclosed. The absence of information on Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets or other reduction initiatives suggests that Meijer may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As a subsidiary, Meijer's climate commitments may be aligned with those of its parent company, Meijer, Inc., which is involved in broader sustainability efforts. However, without specific data or targets, it is challenging to assess the company's overall impact on carbon emissions or its progress towards climate goals. In summary, while Meijer is part of a larger corporate structure that may have sustainability initiatives, the lack of specific emissions data and reduction targets limits the ability to evaluate its climate commitments effectively.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Meijer is participating in some of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
