Calbee's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Calbee reported global carbon emissions of approximately 121,300,000 kg CO2e, with an additional 6,900,000 kg CO2e attributed to its operations in Great Britain. This marks a continued commitment to reducing emissions, as seen in previous years where emissions were 124,000,000 kg CO2e in 2022 and 133,700,000 kg CO2e in 2021. The company has demonstrated a significant reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions over the years, decreasing from about 171,000,000 kg CO2e in 2018 to the latest figures. Despite these reductions, Calbee has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of formal targets suggests a need for further commitment to structured climate action. Overall, Calbee's emissions data reflects a positive trend towards sustainability, although more defined climate commitments would enhance their environmental strategy.
