Emart's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Emart reported total carbon emissions of approximately 6,825,396,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across all three scopes: 24,250,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 466,353,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and a significant 6,825,396,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This represents a slight increase in emissions compared to 2022, where total emissions were about 6,333,404,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 32,750,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 508,919,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 6,333,404,000 kg CO2e. Emart's emissions data is sourced directly from E-MART Inc. and does not appear to be cascaded from a parent company. The company has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. Over the past few years, Emart's emissions have shown variability, with Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions combined reaching approximately 490,603,000 kg CO2e in 2023, compared to 541,669,000 kg CO2e in 2022. The company has yet to establish Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets, which are crucial for aligning with global climate goals. Overall, while Emart has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of reduction commitments highlights the need for a more robust climate action plan.
