Carrefour has set several Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) aligned reduction targets. The company aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 30% by 2030 and 55% by 2040 from a 2019 base year. For Scope 3, Carrefour commits to a 29% reduction in absolute GHG emissions from purchased goods and services and use of sold products by 2030, also from a 2019 base year.

Further commitments include:

• Reducing Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from its stores by 30% by 2025, 50% by 2030, and 70% by 2040, compared to 2019 levels. This target is aligned with the SBTi 1.5°C scenario.
• Achieving carbon neutrality for its direct operations by 2040.
• Reducing transport-related CO2 emissions by 20% by 2030 compared to 2019.
• Reducing indirect Scope 3 GHG emissions by 29% by 2030, compared to 2019.
• Achieving carbon neutrality for Group e-commerce activities by 2030.
• Carrefour also commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 67.2% by 2035 from a 2019 base year, and Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services and downstream transportation and distribution by 40% within the same timeframe. Additionally, 35% of its suppliers by spend covering purchased goods and services will have science-based targets by 2030.
• The company has an additional target of reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions by 49% by 2035 (vs 2019).
