PriceSmart's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, PriceSmart, headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 74,285,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, which includes direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. This figure comprises about 69,999,000 kg CO2e from fugitive emissions. Additionally, the company recorded Scope 2 emissions of approximately 50,395,000 kg CO2e, which are indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling consumed by the company. Despite these emissions figures, PriceSmart has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. There are no emissions data inherited from a parent company, and the organisation does not currently report on Scope 3 emissions, which encompass all other indirect emissions that occur in a company’s value chain. Overall, while PriceSmart has made strides in measuring its carbon footprint, it has yet to establish formal reduction targets or commitments to mitigate its climate impact.
