BJ's Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. (BJ) — ESG & Values Scores

Environment story

BJ's Wholesale Club discloses minimal environmental data. No Scope 1, Scope 2, or Scope 3 emissions targets are disclosed. No net-zero commitment or decarbonization roadmap is evident in the 10-K. The company acknowledges environmental compliance obligations but provides no quantitative emissions metrics, renewable energy penetration, or specific climate initiatives. Gasoline station operations (199 locations) represent a material fossil-fuel revenue stream. Absence of disclosed environmental performance metrics, combined with undisclosed supply-chain carbon footprint and lack of net-zero target, results in significant deductions.
