Asos

ASOS's carbon emissions data for 2023 indicates Scope 1 emissions of 2,785,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions of 2,896,000 kg CO2e. For 2022, their total Scope 3 emissions were 1,738,708,000 kg CO2e. In 2021, ASOS reported total emissions of approximately 1.51 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 emissions of 3,596,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) emissions of 3,150,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of 1,506,834,000 kg CO2e. Key categories within their 2021 Scope 3 emissions included purchased goods and services (908,377,000 kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (215,192,000 kg CO2e).

ASOS has set several ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to be carbon neutral in its direct operations (offices, fulfilment centres, deliveries, and returns) across Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from 2025. They are working towards achieving net-zero carbon emissions across their entire value chain by 2030.

Validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), ASOS plc has near-term targets to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 45% by FY2030 from a FY2022 base year. They also commit to increase annual sourcing of renewable electricity to 100% by FY2027. Additionally, ASOS plc aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services and upstream transportation and distribution by 42% by FY2030 from a FY2022 base year.

For the long term, ASOS plc commits to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by FY2050. This includes reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by FY2050 from a FY2022 base year, and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% within the same timeframe. These targets align with a 1.5°C global warming scenario.
