Takealot.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Naspers Limited

Takealot, headquartered in South Africa (ZA), currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Naspers Limited, which influences its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As part of its climate strategy, Takealot inherits reduction initiatives and targets from Naspers Limited, including commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). However, specific reduction targets or achievements have not been disclosed for Takealot itself. The absence of detailed emissions data suggests that Takealot is in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. The company is expected to align with industry standards and best practices as it develops its sustainability strategy further.
