Beyond Meat's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Beyond Meat reported a revenue of approximately $343.4 million USD, but specific carbon emissions data for that year is not disclosed. In 2019, the company calculated an emissions intensity of about 0.83 kg CO2e per dollar of revenue and approximately 9,500 kg CO2e per tonne of product sold. Beyond Meat has not publicly set specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) nor does it have documented climate pledges. The absence of detailed emissions data, particularly regarding Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, limits the ability to assess their overall carbon footprint and climate impact comprehensively. As a leader in the plant-based protein industry, Beyond Meat's commitment to sustainability is evident, but further transparency regarding their emissions and reduction strategies would enhance their climate accountability.
