Superdrug Stores plc's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from A.S. Watson Group (HK) Limited

Superdrug Stores plc, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of CK Hutchison Holdings Limited, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, Superdrug has not publicly outlined any specific reduction targets or initiatives related to carbon emissions. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. While there are no direct emissions figures or reduction commitments from Superdrug, it is important to note that the company is part of a larger corporate family, with potential climate initiatives cascading from its parent company, CK Hutchison Holdings Limited. This relationship may provide a framework for future climate action and emissions reporting. In summary, Superdrug Stores plc is currently without specific emissions data or reduction targets, but its affiliation with CK Hutchison Holdings Limited may play a role in shaping its future climate commitments.
