Pick n Pay's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Pick n Pay reported a reduction of approximately 35.1 kg CO2e per square metre, continuing a trend of decreasing emissions over the years. This marks an increase from 34.4 kg CO2e per square metre in 2021, 28.2 kg CO2e in 2020, 27.7 kg CO2e in 2019, and 28.8 kg CO2e in 2018. While specific Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions data were not disclosed, the company has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint through these annual reductions. Currently, Pick n Pay has not set any formal reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it inherit emissions data from a parent company. The absence of specific climate initiatives or targets suggests that the company may be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. However, the consistent reduction in emissions per square metre indicates a proactive approach to sustainability within its operations.
