Pepkor's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Pepkor reported total carbon emissions of approximately 286,267,000 kg CO2e, which includes 25,935,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 260,332,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 63,829,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown includes significant contributions from upstream transportation and distribution (27,765,000 kg CO2e) and downstream transportation and distribution (21,025,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2021, Pepkor's total emissions were about 262,718,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 29,314,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 233,404,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 23,380,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight increase in total emissions from 2021 to 2022. Despite the emissions data, Pepkor has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its carbon footprint, it may not yet have formalised strategies to mitigate its impact on climate change.
