Target Australia Pty Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Wesfarmers Limited

Target Australia Pty Limited currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Wesfarmers Limited, which may influence its climate commitments and performance metrics. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from Target Australia. The absence of specific initiatives or targets suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy or reporting framework. Given the context of its parent company, Wesfarmers Limited, it is important to note that any climate commitments or emissions data may be cascaded from this higher-level organisation. However, specific details regarding Wesfarmers' emissions or climate initiatives have not been provided in this instance. In summary, Target Australia Pty Limited currently lacks detailed emissions data and specific climate commitments, with potential influences from its parent company, Wesfarmers Limited.
