Target's reported carbon emissions
As of the latest available data, Target has not disclosed any specific carbon emissions figures, including Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, nor has it set any documented reduction targets. The absence of emissions data suggests that Target may still be in the process of establishing its climate commitments or reporting frameworks. Target's climate initiatives are currently unspecified, and there are no known commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other industry-standard climate pledges. Without concrete data or targets, it is challenging to assess the company's progress in reducing its carbon footprint or its overall impact on climate change. In summary, while Target has not provided specific emissions data or reduction targets, it is essential for the company to develop and communicate its climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations.
