Currys reports KPMG-assured Scope 1 and 2 emissions, flat year on year and 35% below 2019/20, and a full Scope 3 inventory: total emissions rose 4% to 9.17 Mt as purchased-goods emissions grew, and Scope 3 is over 99% of the footprint. It holds SBTi-validated near-term targets; SBTi lists its net-zero commitment as removed, though Currys still states a 2040 net-zero goal. E-waste collection is strong; no water or biodiversity metrics were found in its annual report.
