GALERIA Kaufhof GmbH's reported carbon emissions

GALERIA Kaufhof GmbH, headquartered in Germany, has reported its carbon emissions data primarily from 2010 to 2012. In 2010, the company recorded a carbon footprint of approximately 520 kg CO2e per square metre of selling space. This figure increased slightly to about 588 kg CO2e per square metre in 2009, indicating a need for improved sustainability measures. As of the latest available data, there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges disclosed by GALERIA Kaufhof GmbH. The company has not provided detailed emissions data across the scopes (Scope 1, 2, or 3), nor have they outlined any significant initiatives aimed at reducing their carbon footprint. This lack of transparency suggests that while the company acknowledges its environmental impact, it may not yet have established comprehensive strategies to address climate change effectively. In summary, GALERIA Kaufhof GmbH's emissions data highlights a historical carbon footprint, but the absence of clear reduction commitments or targets raises questions about its long-term climate strategy.
