The Scope 3 emissions included significant contributions from purchased goods and services (about 0.93 kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 0.97 kg CO2e). As of 2020, Zucchi did not disclose any emissions data, indicating a potential gap in reporting or a shift in their emissions tracking strategy. Furthermore, there are currently no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from Zucchi, suggesting that while they have reported emissions, they may not have formalised commitments to reduce their carbon footprint at this time. Overall, Zucchi's emissions profile reflects a need for enhanced transparency and commitment to climate action within the industry context.
