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 reporting on their Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. The company has not set any formal reduction targets or initiatives, as evidenced by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Primark's climate commitments remain vague, with no specific pledges or measurable goals outlined in their sustainability reports. This lack of transparency in emissions data and reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in their environmental sustainability efforts. Overall, while Primark operates within the global retail sector, their current climate commitments and emissions reporting do not align with industry standards for accountability and transparency in carbon management.
