Screwfix, headquartered in Great Britain, has reported carbon emissions data for the years 2011 and 2016. In 2016, the company had a carbon intensity of approximately 155,000 kg CO2e per square metre of its property portfolio, while in 2011, this figure was about 177,000 kg CO2e per square metre. However, specific total emissions figures for Scope 1, 2, and 3 are not disclosed. Currently, Screwfix does not have any publicly stated reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of specific climate pledges or commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive sustainability strategy. As the industry increasingly prioritises climate action, it will be essential for Screwfix to establish clear goals and initiatives to align with global climate commitments.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Screwfix is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
