Barilla's reported carbon emissions

Barilla, an Italian food company, has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 25% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, using 2017 as the baseline year. They also pledge to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions by 26% per tonne of finished product by the same year. These targets align with a 2°C warming scenario, as recognised by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). In terms of emissions, for the reporting year 2024, Barilla reported approximately 5.27 million kg CO2e across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. This includes Scope 1 emissions of around 232,402 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 201,708 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 4.60 million kg CO2e. For the preceding year, 2023, the company reported total emissions of approximately 5.11 million kg CO2e. This consisted of Scope 1 emissions totalling around 227,094 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 187,596 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 4.50 million kg CO2e. In 2022, Barilla's total emissions were approximately 5.12 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 240,422 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 196,445 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 4.68 million kg CO2e. Looking further back, in 2021, total emissions were reported as approximately 391.01 million kg CO2e, encompassing Scope 1 (about 263.28 million kg CO2e) and Scope 2 (approximately 127.72 million kg CO2e). For 2020, total emissions stood at approximately 400.57 million kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 (around 201.05 million kg CO2e) and Scope 2 (about 199.52 million kg CO2e). Barilla's emissions reporting for 2019 indicated Scope 1 and 2 emissions of approximately 382.65 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 181.67 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 200.98 million kg CO2e. In 2018, Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 372.86 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at around 175.76 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at about 197.09 million kg CO2e. For 2017, Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled approximately 379.18 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 185.49 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 193.69 million kg CO2e. In 2015, emissions for Scope 1 and 2 were approximately 392.00 million kg CO2e (Scope 1: 175.00 million kg CO2e, Scope 2: 217.00 million kg CO2e). Earlier data from 2014 shows Scope 1 and 2 emissions of approximately 404.00 million kg CO2e (Scope 1: 141.00 million kg CO2e, Scope 2: 263.00 million kg CO2e). Barilla has also reported targets for energy and water consumption reduction per finished product. Specifically, they aimed to reduce total energy consumption by 10% compared to 2008 values by 2014, and water consumption by 30% against the same baseline. Barilla's climate commitments and emissions data are inherited from its corporate family, with SBTi targets originating from Barilla G. e R. Fratelli S.p.A. at cascade level 0, and CDP reporting originating from Barilla Holding S.p.A. at cascade level 2.
