Alpro's reported carbon emissions
Alpro, headquartered in Belgium, has reported significant carbon emissions across various scopes in recent years. In 2014, the company recorded total emissions of approximately 144,169,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3, 23,022,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, and 7,679,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. This reflects a trend of high emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which typically includes indirect emissions from the supply chain and product use. In 2013, Alpro's emissions were slightly lower, with about 98,488,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3, 17,683,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, and 9,231,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The company has shown a gradual decrease in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from 2010, where they reported 18,482,000 kg CO2e and 10,372,000 kg CO2e respectively, alongside Scope 3 emissions of approximately 82,377,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Alpro has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not have formalised commitments to reduce them in line with industry standards or climate pledges. Overall, Alpro's emissions data highlights the need for ongoing efforts to address carbon emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which represents the largest share of their total emissions.
