Emart announced on the 22nd that it has published the '2025 Net Zero Report,' which contains its implementation achievements and strategies for achieving carbon neutrality (Net Zero).
Emart aims for net greenhouse gas emissions of '0' by 2050 and has set a mid-term goal of reducing emissions by 32.8% compared to 2018 by 2030.
This year's report has refined the carbon emission calculation criteria to reflect the merger with Emart Everyday in July and has improved to accurately calculate indirect emission categories (Scope 3), including from product production to logistics.
The total amount of direct emissions (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from electricity and others (Scope 2) for Emart in 2024 is 522,502 tons, which is about 5,300 tons less than the previous emission forecast (BAU).
Indirect emissions (Scope 3) have also decreased significantly. Emart's Scope 3 emissions for 2024 are approximately 3.9 million tons, a reduction of 42.9% compared to 2023.
Emart has proposed four key strategies for carbon reduction: ▲ improving operational efficiency ▲ investing in facilities ▲ utilizing renewable energy ▲ securing carbon offsets.
In 2024, Emart focused on internal reduction-centered facility investments, including improving store heating and cooling efficiency, introducing LED lighting, and strengthening energy monitoring systems.
High-efficiency facilities were introduced in 29 stores nationwide, and the application of IoT temperature sensors was also expanded.
