Wesfarmers's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Wesfarmers reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,196,700,000 kg CO2e, comprising 845,900,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 350,800,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company also disclosed Scope 3 emissions of about 34,000 kg CO2e. This marks a significant focus on transparency regarding their carbon footprint across all three scopes of emissions. Wesfarmers has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, indicating a potential area for future development. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively measuring its emissions, it may not yet have formalised strategies for reducing its carbon output. Overall, Wesfarmers's emissions data reflects a comprehensive approach to understanding their environmental impact, although the lack of defined reduction goals highlights an opportunity for enhanced climate action in the future.
