Insights into Dollar General's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2023, Dollar General has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2), but not its value chain emissions (Scope 3). This means its reduction efforts currently focus on direct and purchased energy emissions.
Does Dollar General have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2023, Dollar General has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
Dollar General's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 30% by 2031, compared to a baseline of 0.011 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Square Feet (ft2) in 2020.
Instead of reducing operational emissions, Dollar General has increased them, with 2023 levels exceeding those of the 2020 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
