As of 2023, specific emissions data has not been disclosed, and the company has not set any formal reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of disclosed Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions data for 2023 indicates a need for further transparency in their climate strategy. Blue Diamond Growers is actively involved in sustainable agricultural practices, including the use of cover crops and hedgerows, which contribute to carbon sequestration. However, detailed metrics on the impact of these initiatives on overall emissions are not provided. Overall, while Blue Diamond Growers has made strides in reducing emissions from 2021 to 2022, the lack of specific targets and comprehensive emissions data for 2023 highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate commitments.
