Champion Petfoods's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Mars, Incorporated

Champion Petfoods, headquartered in Canada, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Mars, Incorporated, and therefore, its climate commitments and initiatives are influenced by the broader sustainability goals set by its parent organisation. While there are no documented reduction targets or specific emissions figures from Champion Petfoods, it is important to note that the company aligns with the climate initiatives of Mars, Incorporated. This includes participation in various sustainability frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), CDP, and RE100, all of which are cascaded from Mars, Incorporated at a second-level relationship.
