Primark Stores Limited's reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data, Primark Stores Limited has not disclosed specific carbon emissions figures for the years 2016 to 2019, indicating a lack of detailed emissions reporting. The company operates under the umbrella of Associated British Foods plc, which may influence its sustainability practices and reporting. Primark has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other recognised frameworks, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets. This suggests that while Primark is part of a larger corporate family that may have sustainability commitments, it has not publicly committed to specific emissions reduction goals. The company is classified as a current subsidiary of Primark Stores Limited, with cascading data from Associated British Foods plc at a level 2 relationship. This context highlights the importance of corporate governance in shaping Primark's environmental strategies, although specific emissions data and reduction commitments remain undisclosed. In summary, Primark Stores Limited currently lacks detailed emissions data and specific climate commitments, reflecting a broader trend in the retail sector where transparency and accountability in carbon emissions reporting are increasingly demanded by stakeholders.
