Banco Alimentare's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Banco Alimentare reported total carbon emissions of approximately 7,550,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 774,300 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 534,100 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 7,500,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This data highlights the significant impact of their supply chain activities, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which encompass purchased goods and services. In the previous year, 2022, the organisation's total emissions were also around 68,340 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 852,400 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 548,400 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions primarily from purchased goods and services at 2,323,600 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial increase in emissions in 2023, particularly in Scope 3. Banco Alimentare has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. However, the organisation's commitment to addressing climate change is evident through their emissions reporting across all three scopes. The lack of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for Banco Alimentare to enhance its climate strategy and align with industry standards for sustainability.
