Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

Bakkavor has set ambitious targets aligned with climate science. Key commitments include:

• Net Zero by 2050: Bakkavor is committed to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its full value chain by 2050.
• Absolute Emissions Reduction: The company aims to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 90% by 2050, using a 2021 baseline.
• Near-Term Targets (2030):
  • A reduction of Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2021 baseline.
  • A reduction of Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services by 42% by 2030 from a 2021 baseline.
  • Bakkavor also commits to reducing Scope 1 and 3 FLAG (Forest, Land, and Agriculture) GHG emissions by 30.3% by 2030 from a 2021 base year.
  • Furthermore, Bakkavor aims for net-zero operational (Scopes 1 and 2) emissions group-wide by 2040.

These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), indicating their alignment with the goals of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
