In 2023, Fielmann reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,402,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions accounting for the entirety of this figure. Specifically, mobile combustion contributed about 1,297,000 kg CO2e, while stationary combustion added approximately 1,105,000 kg CO2e. This represents a reduction from 2022, when total emissions were about 2,563,000 kg CO2e, indicating a positive trend in their carbon footprint management. Fielmann's emissions data for 2021 shows a higher total of approximately 3,193,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions again being the only disclosed category. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, which suggests a need for further commitment to structured climate action. Overall, while Fielmann has demonstrated a reduction in emissions over the past two years, the absence of formal reduction targets highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
