Screwfix's reported carbon emissions

Screwfix, headquartered in Great Britain, has reported its carbon emissions data for the year 2016, with a carbon intensity of approximately 155,000 kg CO2e per square metre of property portfolio. This figure reflects the company's performance in relation to its revenue of about USD 1.5 billion. In 2011, the carbon intensity was higher at approximately 177,000 kg CO2e per square metre, indicating a potential improvement over the five-year period. Currently, there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges disclosed by Screwfix, nor is there detailed information on their Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. The absence of comprehensive emissions data suggests that while Screwfix may be aware of its carbon footprint, it has not yet established formal commitments to reduce its emissions or engage in industry-standard climate initiatives. As the company continues to operate in a sector increasingly focused on sustainability, it may benefit from developing clear climate commitments and reduction strategies to enhance its environmental performance and align with global climate goals.
