Cargill's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Cargill reported a total of approximately 13,972,123,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 and 2 emissions globally. This figure includes significant contributions from various regions, with Brazil accounting for about 4,646,974,000 kg CO2e, Argentina for approximately 8,387,441,000 kg CO2e, Paraguay for about 830,683,000 kg CO2e, and Cuba for around 107,024,000 kg CO2e. Despite the substantial emissions figures, there are currently no publicly available reduction targets or specific climate pledges from Cargill. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. As a major player in the agricultural sector, Cargill's future commitments and actions will be crucial in addressing climate change and reducing its carbon footprint.
