We will reduce the carbon footprint of our operations by conserving energy and switching to renewable energy sources where possible.
Carbon Footprint
At Qurate Retail Group we understand that climate change is without a doubt one of the most pressing challenges facing the planet and humanity today. As a global company, one that believes in doing things the right way, we have a responsibility to reduce the impact our operations have on the planet in the creation of greenhouse gas emissions. Recently we completed our first global carbon footprint across scopes 1 & 2 emissions, culminating in the setting of an initial emissions reductions target.
- Scope 1 Emissions: Direct emissions from combustible fuels and other sources that occur directly on site.
- Scope 2 Emissions: Emissions that occur off-site to produce electricity or steam purchased for use at a company’s location.
The boundary of our environmental footprint is QVC (all markets), HSN and Zulily (Cornerstone Brands are excluded due to lack of available data). This boundary therefore accounts for 98% of Qurate Retail Group revenues and was originally conducted in 2018 with a look back at 2017 data for comparison purposes. Given this, we consider our baseline year to be 2018. The coverage of our carbon footprint includes 100% of emissions for scopes 1 and 2. Our carbon footprint for 2021 has been verified by a third party and our assurance statement can be found here.
