Mothercare's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Mothercare reported total carbon emissions of approximately 28,000 kg CO2e. This marked a significant reduction from 2021, where emissions were about 393,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed specific data for Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions in recent years, making it challenging to assess the full scope of their carbon footprint. In 2020, Mothercare's emissions were approximately 4,243,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 1,531,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 2,712,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial decrease in emissions over the following years, reflecting potential improvements in operational efficiency or changes in business practices. Despite these reductions, Mothercare has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, which limits their commitment visibility in the context of industry standards. The absence of disclosed reduction initiatives suggests that while the company is making progress, there is room for more structured climate commitments and transparency regarding their long-term sustainability goals.
