Mercadona, a leading Spanish retailer, has reported its carbon emissions for several years. In 2024, the company reported total emissions of approximately 894.5 million kg CO2e. This follows 2023's reported total of about 951 million kg CO2e, and 2022's figure of approximately 753.1 million kg CO2e. In 2021, Mercadona's emissions stood at around 757.3 million kg CO2e, an increase from the approximately 830.5 million kg CO2e reported in 2020. Prior to this, in 2017 and 2018, total emissions were reported as approximately 1.59 billion kg CO2e and 1.62 billion kg CO2e, respectively. Mercadona has established climate commitments aiming for a further 36% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030, based on 2015 levels. The company is also developing its climate transition plan as part of its broader decarbonisation efforts. In terms of long-term goals, Mercadona has a net-zero commitment by 2050. It is important to note that for recent reporting years, specific Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions data are not always fully disclosed, with gaps identified in areas such as purchased goods and services, and upstream transportation and distribution. Mercadona's emissions data is cascaded from its ultimate parent, Mercadona S.A., indicating a corporate family relationship for reporting purposes.
