Sprouts Farmers Market's reported carbon emissions

For the 2023 reporting year, Sprouts Farmers Market reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2.7 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of approximately 140 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 127 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 2.4 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were primarily driven by purchased goods and services (about 2.1 billion kg CO2e), followed by end-of-life treatment of sold products (approximately 103 million kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 74 million kg CO2e). In 2022, the company's total emissions were approximately 1.8 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 114 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 118 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 1.5 billion kg CO2e. Sprouts Farmers Market has set several climate commitments. They aim to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, covering both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Additionally, they have a target to reduce carbon emissions intensity by 25% per square foot in their stores by 2033, using 2023 as a baseline year for this intensity target. A near-term goal is to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 70% by 2030, from a 2020 baseline year. The company is also working towards a broader Net Zero commitment by 2035, which aims for a 90% real-world reduction across business and financed emissions, with the remaining 10% offset by carbon removal projects.
