Greenhouse Gas Inventory

For the realization of carbon neutrality, BGF Retail has been collectively managing greenhouse gases for fixed and mobile emission sources since 2016. In 2021, we voluntarily established a greenhouse gas inventory for the first time in the industry and obtained certification after receiving third-party verification from a global verification agency. BGF Retail selected two BGF Logistics centers with the highest carbon emissions among its businesses and conducted third-party verification and inventory of greenhouse gases.
