About the data

The "proximity supermarket" format, both medium-sized supers (under 2500m2), but especially small supermarkets (under 1000m), are shown to have the lowest environmental impact due to their ability to reduce atmospheric emissions at all stages of the food distribution process: from the collection of products at their point of origin and their reception in the shop to customer access to the shop and delivery to the customer's home.
These shops are often located in urban centres in close proximity to consumers' homes and workplaces, which means that the vast majority of customers shop on foot (85% if we also include large supermarkets between 2501 and 5000m2).
We relate this characteristic of supermarkets to their Scope 3 emissions linked to the impact of their customers' travel and goods transport flows.
We value with a YES when the chain's (GROUP's) shop network corresponds to the super small format (< 1000m2) in most of its shops and does not include Hypermarkets (> 5000m2).
We value with a YES when the chain's network of stores corresponds to the super small format (<1000m2) or super medium format (<2500m2) mostly and does not include hypermarkets. Example Mercadona, which does not have hypermarkets and has mostly medium-sized stores, although it has quite a few large supermarkets (from 2501 to 4999m2)
