Ardent Mills's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, Ardent Mills reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,918,257,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes emissions across all three scopes: Scope 1 emissions were about 211,740,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions were both approximately 3,706,517,000 kg CO2e. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions encompass significant categories such as business travel, purchased goods and services, and waste generated in operations. Despite the substantial emissions figures, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from Ardent Mills. This lack of specific commitments highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate strategy and align with industry standards for sustainability. As the global focus on climate action intensifies, establishing clear reduction goals could position Ardent Mills as a leader in the milling industry’s transition towards a more sustainable future.
