Petco's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Petco reported total carbon emissions of approximately 145,652,000 kg CO2e, comprising 128,220,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 17,432,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This data reflects a commitment to transparency in their environmental impact, although no Scope 3 emissions data was disclosed for this year. In 2022, Petco's emissions were significantly higher, with a total of about 143,662,000 kg CO2e, including 17,981,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 125,681,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions were reported at approximately 493,814,000 kg CO2e, indicating a substantial footprint from purchased goods and services, alongside other categories such as employee commute and upstream transportation. Petco has not set specific reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges, which suggests a need for further commitment in this area. The absence of documented reduction initiatives highlights an opportunity for Petco to enhance its climate strategy and align with industry standards for sustainability. Overall, while Petco has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of comprehensive reduction targets and initiatives may limit its effectiveness in addressing climate change.
