Wickes's reported carbon emissions

Wickes plc, based in the UK, has established robust climate commitments and is actively working to reduce its carbon footprint. The company has set ambitious near-term targets, aiming for an absolute reduction of 42% in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030, using 2021 as a baseline year. Furthermore, Wickes is committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 42% within the same timeframe. The company also aims to have 45% (and in some reports, 77.5%) of its suppliers by emissions, covering purchased goods and services, adopt science-based targets by 2027. In terms of emissions performance, for the reporting year 2025, Wickes reported total absolute emissions of approximately 1.45 billion kg CO2e. This figure is comprised of approximately 12.96 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, approximately 7.15 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (location-based), and approximately 1.43 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3. The primary contributors to Scope 3 emissions in 2025 were purchased goods and services, accounting for approximately 979.23 million kg CO2e, and the use of sold products, contributing approximately 175.91 million kg CO2e. For the previous reporting year, 2024, total absolute emissions were approximately 1.60 billion kg CO2e. This included approximately 12.40 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, approximately 8.68 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (location-based), and approximately 1.58 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3. The largest Scope 3 category in 2024 was purchased goods and services, at approximately 1.16 billion kg CO2e, followed by the use of sold products at approximately 173.47 million kg CO2e. Wickes's climate targets are aligned with a 1.5°C trajectory, as validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company's emissions data and reduction targets are cascaded from Wickes Group plc, indicating a unified approach to climate action within the organisation.
