In 2023, Calbee reported total carbon emissions of approximately 6,900,000 kg CO2e for its operations in Great Britain, while its global emissions reached about 121,300,000 kg CO2e. These figures encompass Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources and indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, respectively. Comparatively, in 2022, Calbee's emissions in Great Britain were about 7,100,000 kg CO2e, indicating a slight reduction in emissions year-on-year. On a global scale, emissions decreased from approximately 124,000,000 kg CO2e in 2022 to 121,300,000 kg CO2e in 2023. Despite these reductions, Calbee has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or reduction initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company does not appear to inherit emissions data from a parent organization, maintaining its own reporting standards. Calbee's commitment to sustainability is evident, but further transparency regarding specific reduction strategies and long-term climate goals would enhance its environmental accountability.
