Adecoagro's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Adecoagro reported total carbon emissions of approximately 898,417,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 35,884,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 268,036,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3, resulting in a combined total of about 1,202,337,000 kg CO2e. This reflects their ongoing commitment to transparency in emissions reporting. The company has demonstrated a focus on reducing its carbon intensity, achieving a carbon intensity of 234 kg CO2e per unit of revenue in 2023. However, there are currently no specified reduction targets or initiatives documented in their reports, indicating a potential area for future commitment. Adecoagro's emissions data highlights their significant reliance on agricultural production, particularly in the sugar and ethanol sectors, where they have reported emissions factors such as 35,000 kg CO2e per tonne of sugarcane in 2011 and 44,000 kg CO2e per tonne in 2016. As a company headquartered in Luxembourg (LU), Adecoagro is positioned within the global agricultural industry, which is increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact. The absence of formal reduction targets suggests that while they are actively monitoring emissions, there is an opportunity for Adecoagro to enhance its climate commitments and set ambitious goals for future reductions.
