Screwfix's reported carbon emissions

In 2016, Screwfix reported significant carbon emissions, with approximately 10,490,000 kg CO2e attributed to Scope 3 emissions from business travel and upstream transportation and distribution. This data is cascaded from their parent company, Screwfix Direct Limited, reflecting their operational impact in Great Britain. Screwfix has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions data indicates a potential area for improvement in their sustainability reporting. As a current subsidiary of Screwfix Direct Limited, their emissions data and climate strategies may align with broader corporate sustainability goals, although specific initiatives or targets have not been outlined. Overall, Screwfix's commitment to addressing carbon emissions remains an area for future development.
