Dollarama's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Dollarama reported total carbon emissions of approximately 85,891,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 1,195,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions (mobile combustion) and about 26,467,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (purchased electricity). This represents a decrease from 2022, where total emissions were about 95,188,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 1,132,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at about 26,629,000 kg CO2e. Over the past few years, Dollarama has shown a trend of reducing its carbon footprint. In 2021, the company reported total emissions of about 109,975,000 kg CO2e, indicating a significant reduction in emissions by 2023. However, there are no disclosed Scope 3 emissions, which typically encompass indirect emissions from the supply chain and product use. Despite these reductions, Dollarama has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, which may limit its long-term sustainability commitments. The company continues to focus on improving its emissions intensity, which has decreased from approximately 0.715 kg CO2e/m² in 2020 to about 0.455 kg CO2e/m² in 2023. This indicates a positive trend towards more efficient operations, although further commitments and targets would enhance its climate strategy.
