This reflects a notable increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023, particularly in Scope 3.

The data indicates a downward trend in Scope 3 emissions from 2021 to 2023, despite the overall increase in total emissions. Currently, White Cap has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of formal commitments suggests a need for enhanced climate strategies to address their carbon footprint effectively.
