Insights into METRO's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, METRO has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover both its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3), offering a comprehensive view of its total carbon footprint.
Does METRO have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2024, METRO has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
METRO's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 60% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 0.317 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Square Meter (m2) in 2011.
As of 2024, METRO is ahead of schedule on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 82.55% of the planned reduction.
METRO's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does METRO have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2024, METRO has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 1 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.
METRO's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 15% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 26,508,095 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2018.
As of 2022, METRO is on track to meet its value chain emissions reduction target, having achieved 42% of the planned reduction.
METRO's Value Chain (Scope 3) Emissions Pathway
Does METRO have a target to reduce its total carbon footprint?
As of 2024, METRO has set a target to reduce its total carbon footprint, specifically those from Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 sources.
METRO's most ambitious carbon footprint target is to reduce its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from a baseline of 5,104,788 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2011, by 69% by 2040.
As of 2022, METRO is on track to meet its total carbon footprint reduction target, having achieved 37.65% of the planned reduction.
