Bord Bia's reported carbon emissions
Bord Bia's latest available emissions data from 2015 indicates a significant carbon footprint associated with its products. The carbon footprint for beef is approximately 12,000 kg CO2e per tonne, while fat and protein corrected milk has a footprint of about 1,180 kg CO2e per tonne. Currently, there are no specified reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This suggests that Bord Bia is in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments, despite the industry's growing emphasis on sustainability and carbon reduction. As Bord Bia continues to navigate the climate landscape, it is essential for the organisation to establish clear reduction targets and strategies to mitigate its carbon emissions across all scopes, particularly in light of increasing global scrutiny on agricultural emissions.
