This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 324 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 1.58 billion kg CO2e. Notably, the company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Comparatively, in 2022, Sun Art Retail's total emissions were around 2.16 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 362 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 1.78 billion kg CO2e.
