  5. Science Based Targets Case Study: Tesco

Tesco is one of the world’s largest retailers, with more than 6,000 outlets across Europe and Asia serving millions of customers every week.

As a member of RE100, brought to you by The Climate Group in partnership with CDP, Tesco is committed to sourcing 100% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030 – to include over 50% from PPAs and on-site generationand has an interim milestone to source 65% renewable electricity by 2020.
In terms of scope 3 emissions, we conducted a full supply-chain footprint survey of our product portfolio to identify the hotspots that should be targeted for GHG emission reductions.

What are the benefits of having the target?

“Science-based targets have helped us, for the first time, to align our efforts to act on climate change with those of the global community.”
