For instance, in 2020, the company recorded total emissions of about 31,854,410,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 1,848,301,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 1,337,140,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year were notably high at approximately 111,400,009,000 kg CO2e, indicating the substantial impact of their supply chain and product use. Despite these figures, Bunge has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action, particularly in aligning with industry standards for sustainability and emissions reduction. Bunge's headquarters is located in the United States, and their emissions data reflects a global operational footprint. The company’s ongoing efforts to address climate change will be crucial as they navigate the challenges of sustainability in the agricultural sector.
