This figure includes emissions from all three scopes: Scope 1 emissions were about 352,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 1,169,000 kg CO2e (market-based), and a significant 1,782,611,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals major contributions from the use of sold products (about 1,027,193,000 kg CO2e) and employee commuting (approximately 7,181,000 kg CO2e). In 2023, Elkjøp's total emissions were approximately 1,926,009,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 487,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 5,547,000 kg CO2e (location-based), and Scope 3 emissions reaching around 1,923,596,000 kg CO2e. The largest contributors to Scope 3 emissions were again the use of sold products (about 1,077,502,000 kg CO2e) and employee commuting (approximately 7,744,000 kg CO2e). Despite the substantial emissions figures, Elkjøp has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for further transparency regarding their approach to mitigating climate impact.
