Retail Carbon Emissions Data

Retail emissions concentrate in purchased goods: the products on the shelves typically account for the overwhelming majority of a retailer's footprint, with stores, logistics and packaging behind them. Scope 3 category 1 disclosure is the single most telling line in a retailer's report.

Compare carbon emissions across Retail companies

The table ranks Retail companies by Mycelium Score, which rewards low emissions intensity within the sector, transparent reporting and third-party verification, rather than by raw totals, which would penalise the companies that report most completely. Mycelium tracks 1,367 companies in this sector; the top 25 are shown here.

Why retail emissions data matters

Company-level carbon data in this sector is used by procurement teams reviewing suppliers, investors assessing climate risk, and sustainability teams building Scope 3 inventories. Access to comparable, sourced disclosures makes those decisions evidence-based rather than survey-based.
