As of the latest available data, California Sugars has reported its carbon emissions for the years 2012 to 2018, with the most recent figure from 2018 indicating emissions of approximately 125,000 kg CO2e per tonne of production. This reflects a slight increase from 2017, where emissions were about 119,000 kg CO2e per tonne. Over the years, emissions have fluctuated, with a peak of approximately 147,000 kg CO2e per tonne in 2012, followed by a gradual decline to 113,000 kg CO2e per tonne in 2015 before rising again. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any formal climate pledges. This lack of defined targets suggests that while California Sugars is aware of its emissions, it may not have committed to specific reduction goals or strategies at this time. The emissions data provided does not specify the scopes of emissions (Scope 1, 2, or 3), indicating a need for more detailed reporting in line with industry standards.
