Screwfix has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of SBTi reduction targets or documented climate pledges.

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.
