In 2024, METRO AG 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, METRO AG has not published a category-level breakdown of its Scope 3 emissions, limiting visibility into specific value chain sources.

In 2024, METRO AG reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 411,888 tCO₂e without specifying the calculation method.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), METRO AG's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) fell by 25.92% in 2024, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its energy consumption.a
In 2024, METRO AG reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2024, METRO AG reported 124,990 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 2024 disclosure of METRO AG includes a breakdown across 0 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2023, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2024, METRO AG reported total Scope 3 emissions of 124,990 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, METRO AG's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 95.4%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), METRO AG's Scope 3 emissions decreased by 30.94%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower indirect emissions from its value chain.a
In 2024, METRO AG reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 380,028 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 34,659 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 10.96 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, METRO AG reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 10.96 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 10.93, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, METRO AG ranked 14 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
METRO AG is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, METRO AG reported a total carbon footprint of 916,906 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 15.55% decrease compared to 2023, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to METRO AG's total carbon footprint was Scope 2 emissions, accounting for 44.92% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 41.45%.a
