Screwfix's reported carbon emissions
In 2016, Screwfix reported significant carbon emissions totalling approximately 8,344,000 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 3 emissions. This includes about 1,049,000 kg CO2e from business travel and approximately 7,314,000 kg CO2e from upstream transportation and distribution. The data is cascaded from its parent company, Screwfix Direct Limited, reflecting the emissions profile of the subsidiary. Currently, Screwfix has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of formal climate pledges suggests that while emissions data is available, the company may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability. Overall, Screwfix's emissions data highlights the need for a more robust approach to carbon management and climate commitments, particularly in addressing Scope 3 emissions, which represent a significant portion of their carbon footprint.
