Metcash's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Metcash reported total carbon emissions of approximately 15446000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 75056000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based). The total emissions for Scope 1 and 2 combined reached about 90502000 kg CO2e. Notably, Scope 3 emissions were significantly higher, with total emissions amounting to approximately 932185000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services alone, alongside other categories such as upstream and downstream transportation. In 2023, Metcash's emissions were slightly lower, with Scope 1 emissions at about 13225000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at approximately 76441000 kg CO2e, leading to a combined total of about 89666000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2. Despite these figures, Metcash has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi commitments. The company has not cascaded any emissions data from a parent organization, and all reported figures are derived directly from Metcash Limited. Overall, while Metcash's emissions data reflects a substantial carbon footprint, the lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate commitments.
