In 2024, Basic Fit reported significant carbon emissions across various scopes. The total emissions for the global operations amounted to approximately 752,623,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 8,792,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at around 10,577,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching approximately 752,623,000 kg CO2e. In the Netherlands, emissions were reported as follows: Scope 1 at about 4,016,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 17,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 99,221,000 kg CO2e. The total emissions for Scope 1 and 2 combined were about 70,494,000 kg CO2e (market-based). Basic Fit has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, and there are no documented SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets. The company has not disclosed any climate pledges or significant reduction initiatives, indicating a potential area for future development in their sustainability strategy. Overall, Basic Fit's emissions data reflects a substantial carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3, which encompasses indirect emissions from the value chain. The absence of reduction targets suggests that Basic Fit may need to enhance its climate action framework to align with industry standards and expectations.
