Shoprite's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Shoprite reported total carbon emissions of approximately 16,782,823,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 748,589,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 1,617,885,000 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions totalling around 14,416,349,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals major contributions from the use of sold products (about 9,943,130,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 2,784,594,000 kg CO2e). In comparison, the previous year, 2023, Shoprite's total emissions were about 17,503,962,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 725,405,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at around 1,724,725,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching about 15,053,831,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a reduction in total emissions from 2023 to 2024. Despite these figures, Shoprite has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The emissions data is cascaded from Inserra Supermarkets, Inc., a current subsidiary, with additional performance data sourced from Wakefern Food Corp. at a cascade level of 1. Overall, while Shoprite has made strides in reporting its emissions, further clarity on reduction strategies and commitments would enhance its climate action profile.
