Rite Aid's reported carbon emissions

As of 2022, Rite Aid has not disclosed specific carbon emissions data, including Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. The company reported a revenue of approximately $24.57 billion but did not provide absolute emissions figures for that year. In 2021, Rite Aid's revenue was about $24.04 billion, yet again, no emissions data was disclosed. Rite Aid has not established any formal reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of specific emissions data and reduction commitments places Rite Aid in a challenging position within the industry, where transparency and accountability regarding carbon emissions are increasingly expected. Overall, Rite Aid's climate commitments remain vague, and further disclosures would be necessary to assess their environmental impact and sustainability efforts effectively.
