Azteca Foods's reported carbon emissions

Despite the significant emissions figures, there are currently no publicly available reduction targets or specific climate commitments outlined by the company. This lack of defined initiatives may reflect a broader industry context where many organisations are still developing comprehensive strategies to address climate change. As a company headquartered in the US, Azteca Foods is positioned within an industry increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact, highlighting the importance of establishing clear climate action plans and reduction goals in the future.
