BBU's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, Bimbo Bakeries USA, Inc. (BBU) reported emissions data inherited from its parent company, Grupo Bimbo, S.A.B. de C.V. However, specific emissions figures for Scope 1, 2, and 3 were not disclosed, indicating a lack of detailed reporting on their carbon footprint. The available data includes production emission factors, such as a value of approximately 3.67 tonnes CO2e associated with the Albuquerque facility's bread oven, but comprehensive emissions data remains unspecified. BBU has not set specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, reflecting a gap in their climate strategy. The absence of disclosed reduction initiatives suggests that BBU may be relying on broader corporate strategies cascaded from Grupo Bimbo, which is actively engaged in sustainability efforts. As a current subsidiary of Grupo Bimbo, BBU's climate commitments and emissions strategies are likely aligned with the parent company's initiatives, although specific details on these commitments were not provided. Overall, BBU's climate reporting indicates a need for enhanced transparency and specific targets to effectively address its carbon emissions.
