Applegate, a subsidiary of Hormel Foods Corporation, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the latest year, as no emissions figures are available. The company inherits its climate commitments and reduction targets from its parent organisation, Hormel Foods Corporation, which is responsible for setting the overarching sustainability goals. As part of its climate strategy, Hormel Foods Corporation has established science-based targets (SBTi) aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions across its operations. However, specific reduction targets for Applegate have not been detailed in the available data. The absence of direct emissions data suggests that Applegate is still in the process of developing its own comprehensive emissions reporting framework. In the context of the food industry, Applegate's commitment to sustainability aligns with broader trends towards reducing carbon footprints and enhancing environmental stewardship. The company is expected to follow the initiatives set forth by Hormel Foods, which include various sustainability pledges and participation in climate-related frameworks. Overall, while specific emissions data for Applegate is not available, the company is positioned within a corporate family that prioritises climate action and aims to implement effective strategies for reducing its environmental impact.
