In 2021, Americanas completed a corporate carbon footprint assessment and publicly disclosed its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions according to the GHG Protocol, covering Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy) and Scope 3 (indirect emissions across the value chain).
However, Americanas has not published a category-level breakdown of its Scope 3 emissions, limiting visibility into specific value chain sources.

In 2021, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Americanas amounted to 46,070 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. This figure includes both direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2).a
Compared to 2020, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Americanas increased by 126.22%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing its emissions from its core operations.a
In 2021, the total Scope 1 emissions of Americanas were 2,527 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Americanas's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 86.72%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2020), Americanas's Scope 1 emissions increased by 910.87%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.a
In 2021, Americanas reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 31,953 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 43,543 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Since 2019, Americanas's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Location-Based) have increased by 80.14%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2020), Americanas's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) rose by 116.47% in 2021, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from purchased electricity and energya
In 2021, Americanas reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2021, Americanas reported 74,776 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2021 disclosure of Americanas includes a breakdown across 0 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2020, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2021, Americanas reported total Scope 3 emissions of 74,776 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Americanas's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 297.87%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2020), Americanas's Scope 3 emissions increased by 41.69%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.a
In 2021, Americanas reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 2,527 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 4,043 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.63 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2021, Americanas reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.63 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 0.56, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2021, Americanas ranked 14 out of 24 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Americanas is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2021, Americanas reported a total carbon footprint of 120,846 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 65.23% increase compared to 2020, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Americanas's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 61.88% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 36.03%.a
