In 2023, Officeworks reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,783,772,000 kg CO2e, with the majority of these emissions falling under Scope 3, which accounted for about 2,783,772,000 kg CO2e. This includes significant contributions from purchased goods and services (approximately 2,405,179,008 kg CO2e) and employee commuting (about 13,918,860 kg CO2e). The company's Scope 1 and 2 emissions were reported at approximately 27,000,000 kg CO2e. Officeworks has shown a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, although specific reduction targets or initiatives were not detailed in the available data. The emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Wesfarmers Limited, indicating a corporate family relationship that influences its climate strategy. Historically, Officeworks has seen a gradual decrease in its Scope 1 and 2 emissions, from approximately 59,000 kg CO2e in 2015 to about 27,000,000 kg CO2e in 2022. However, the absence of specific reduction targets or initiatives suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not have formalised commitments in line with industry standards such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Overall, Officeworks's emissions profile highlights the significant impact of its supply chain and operational activities, underscoring the need for comprehensive strategies to address its climate commitments effectively.
