The Scope 3 emissions are primarily driven by the use of sold products, which accounted for about 623,116,000 kg CO2e. For the UK specifically, Screwfix's emissions in 2024 totalled approximately 11,701,000 kg CO2e, with 11,701,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 238,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based). In 2023, the UK emissions were slightly higher at about 14,154,000 kg CO2e, indicating a potential downward trend in emissions. Screwfix has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of SBTi reduction targets or documented climate pledges. The emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Screwfix Direct Limited, reflecting a corporate family relationship. Overall, while Screwfix has made strides in reporting its emissions, further commitments and reduction initiatives would enhance its climate strategy and align with industry standards for sustainability.
