Warby Parker's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Warby Parker reported total carbon emissions of approximately 57,863,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 961,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 2,696,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 54,206,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, which encompass areas such as purchased goods and services. Comparatively, in 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 49,160,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions both contributing equally to this total. The 2021 emissions were approximately 46,826,000 kg CO2e, indicating a trend of increasing emissions over the years. Despite these figures, Warby Parker has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not yet have formalised commitments to reduce them in line with industry standards. Overall, Warby Parker's emissions data highlights the importance of addressing Scope 3 emissions, which represent the majority of their carbon footprint, and underscores the need for comprehensive climate commitments moving forward.
