Albertsons's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Albertsons reported total carbon emissions of approximately 686,600 kg CO2e, comprising 404,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 282,600 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marks a significant reduction from 2021, when Scope 1 emissions alone were reported at 533,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Albertsons has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, which typically includes indirect emissions from the supply chain and product use. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future commitment. Albertsons operates with a focus on transparency in its emissions reporting, as evidenced by its annual ESG reports. However, the absence of detailed reduction strategies suggests that further action may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate commitments.
