Oddbox, headquartered in Great Britain, has set ambitious climate commitments aimed at reducing its carbon footprint. Although specific emissions data for the most recent year is not available, Oddbox has established a target to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2020 as the baseline year. This target has been validated through a streamlined process designed for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and aligns with the necessary reductions to limit global warming to 1.5°C. In addition to its focus on direct emissions (Scope 1 and 2), Oddbox is also committed to measuring and reducing its Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions from its value chain. These initiatives reflect Oddbox's dedication to sustainability and its proactive approach to addressing climate change within the food and staples retailing sector.
