In 2025, the total Scope 1 emissions of Rexel were 70,496 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2022, Rexel's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 7.66%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ac
Compared to the previous year (2024), Rexel's Scope 1 emissions decreased by 2.78%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower direct emissions from assets it owns or controls.a
In 2025, Rexel reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 6,566 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 26,183 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Rexel's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Rexel's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2025, Rexel reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2025, Rexel reported 57,732,224 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 2025 disclosure of Rexel includes a breakdown across 13 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, down from 15 in 2024, indicating a decline in reporting granularity and reduced insight into the company's full value chain emissions.a
In 2025, Rexel reported total Scope 3 emissions of 57,732,224 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 20.1% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 79.9% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2022, Rexel's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 53.39%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ac
Compared to the previous year (2024), Rexel's Scope 3 emissions decreased by 10.34%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower indirect emissions from its value chain.a
In 2025, Rexel reported emissions for 13 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This reflects a high level of granularity and transparency in the company's emissions reporting.
In 2025, the largest contributors to Rexel's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Rexel reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 70,496 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 22,825 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 3.09 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Rexel reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 3.09 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 0.22, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Rexel ranked 23 out of 24 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
This places Rexel among the least efficient performers, with one of the highest emissions intensities in its sector.a
In 2025, Rexel reported a total carbon footprint of 57,828,903 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 10.33% decrease compared to 2024, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Rexel's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 99.83% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 0.12%.a
