Walmart's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Walmart's total carbon emissions amounted to approximately 2,257,410,000 kg CO2e, comprising 947,450,400 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 573,864,600 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 736,095,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a notable increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 3, which includes emissions from purchased goods and services. In 2022, Walmart reported total emissions of about 1,820,434,990 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 890,400,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 514,800,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 882,018,500 kg CO2e. The trend indicates a significant reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which are often the most challenging to manage. Walmart has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. However, the company continues to report its emissions across all three scopes, demonstrating a commitment to transparency in its environmental impact. The emissions intensity for Scope 1 and 2 combined was reported at 1,521.3 kg CO2e per square metre in 2023, indicating a need for ongoing efforts to improve efficiency and reduce overall emissions. Overall, while Walmart's emissions data shows fluctuations, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate strategy and align with industry standards for sustainability.
