Recreational Equipment's reported carbon emissions

Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) has set ambitious climate targets, including a commitment to reduce absolute GHG emissions across its operations and value chain by 55% by 2030, based on a 2019 baseline. They also aim to achieve net-zero GHG emissions across their value chain by 2050. In terms of emissions, for the year 2023, REI reported a total of approximately 1.19 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 5.95 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (location-based) of approximately 27.12 million kg CO2e. For 2022, total emissions were around 1.32 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 5.86 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (location-based) at about 25 million kg CO2e. The previous year, 2021, saw total emissions of roughly 1.22 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 4.66 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (location-based) at about 26.2 million kg CO2e. REI is also committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which has approved targets for a 47% reduction from 2019 to 2030 across scopes 1, 2, and 3. Additionally, REI has committed to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 60% by 2030 from a 2019 base year, and to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions intensity by 55% by 2030 from a 2019 base year. Their long-term goal includes reducing absolute scopes 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2019 base year.
