In 2022, Rite Aid reported its carbon emissions data, although specific figures for total emissions in kg CO2e were not disclosed. The company operates globally and generated approximately $24.57 billion in revenue. Notably, Rite Aid has not provided detailed information regarding its Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, nor has it set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). In previous years, such as 2021, Rite Aid's emissions per store were reported at approximately 0.1869 GJ, but again, total emissions figures were not specified. The absence of comprehensive emissions data and reduction commitments highlights a gap in Rite Aid's climate strategy, which is increasingly important in the retail sector. Overall, while Rite Aid is engaged in sustainability efforts, the lack of specific emissions data and reduction targets suggests that there is significant room for improvement in their climate commitments.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Rite Aid is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
