The Scope 3 emissions also saw a decrease from 6,258,872,000 kg CO2e in 2023. Canadian Tire has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030, relative to a 2020 baseline. This target includes emissions from Dealer-operated Canadian Tire stores. Additionally, the company plans to construct new stores to a net-zero-ready prototype by 2050, demonstrating a long-term commitment to sustainability. The company’s emissions profile indicates a heavy reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which account for the majority of its carbon footprint, primarily from the use of sold products and purchased goods and services. This highlights the importance of addressing supply chain emissions in their overall climate strategy.
