Meijer's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, Meijer, headquartered in the US, reported significant greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from refrigerants, amounting to approximately 1,778,081 kg CO2e under Scope 1. This data is cascaded from its parent company, Meijer, Inc. However, there is no disclosed data for Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions for the same year. Meijer has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, and there are no reported SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) targets or climate pledges. The company’s emissions data reflects a lack of comprehensive climate strategy, which is critical in the retail sector, especially as consumers increasingly demand sustainability. Overall, while Meijer has acknowledged its carbon footprint, the absence of clear reduction targets and detailed emissions reporting indicates a need for enhanced climate action and transparency in its sustainability efforts.
