Wesfarmers's reported carbon emissions

Wesfarmers, an Australian company in the Furniture and other manufactured goods n.e.c. industry, reported total emissions of approximately 30.5 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This figure encompasses Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. Scope 1 emissions were approximately 789.7 million kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions, based on market-based calculations, were about 236.9 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were considerably higher, reaching approximately 30.5 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services contributing the largest share at approximately 16.5 billion kg CO2e, followed by the use of sold products at approximately 10.9 billion kg CO2e. Wesfarmers has established several climate commitments. The organisation aims for net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030, with an aspiration for net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050 for WesCEF and Coregas. Additionally, WesCEF targets a 30% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by the end of the 2030 financial year, compared to a 2020 baseline. Some subsidiaries have specific targets; for instance, Bunnings is aiming for a 10% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions from a 2020 baseline. Older targets included Coles aiming for a 30% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2020, and Officeworks targeting a 15% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from electricity usage by 2020, compared to 2015. In 2016, Wesfarmers reported an emissions intensity of 59.3 tonnes CO2e per million dollars of revenue, representing an 8% decrease from the previous year. Earlier emissions data indicates a total of approximately 5.17 billion kg CO2e in 2016, comprising about 3.92 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2, and approximately 1.25 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3. In 2015, total emissions were around 5.06 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and 2 at approximately 4.01 billion kg CO2e and Scope 3 at about 1.05 billion kg CO2e. From 2017 to 2020, Scope 1 and 2 emissions ranged from approximately 1.19 billion kg CO2e to 1.62 billion kg CO2e. Prior to 2016, Scope 3 emissions were reported separately, with figures such as approximately 1.1 billion kg CO2e in 2014 and 1.05 billion kg CO2e in 2015. In 2009, Wesfarmers disclosed Scope 1 emissions of approximately 707.7 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 566.5 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 2.98 billion kg CO2e.
