Dis-Chem group's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Dis-Chem Group reported carbon emissions of approximately 12,926,090 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 1 emissions. This data reflects the company's direct greenhouse gas emissions from owned or controlled sources. Currently, Dis-Chem has not established any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor do they participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions data indicates a limited disclosure of their overall carbon footprint. As a leading player in the retail pharmacy sector in South Africa (ZA), Dis-Chem's commitment to sustainability is crucial, especially in the context of increasing industry pressure to address climate change. However, without defined reduction strategies or climate pledges, the company faces challenges in aligning with global climate goals.
