This figure includes emissions from all three scopes: Scope 1 emissions were about 31,784,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 31,997,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions accounted for a significant 3,078,852,000 kg CO2e. Currently, there are no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by Woolworths New Zealand, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests that while the company is aware of its carbon footprint, it may not yet have formalised plans to mitigate its impact on climate change. As the retail industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, Woolworths New Zealand's future commitments and actions will be crucial in addressing its substantial carbon emissions and aligning with global climate goals.
