Chicken Of Sea's reported carbon emissions
In 2015, Chicken of the Sea reported total carbon emissions of approximately 22,701,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 6,700,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of around 9,800,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling about 6,200,000 kg CO2e, which encompasses business travel and employee commuting. The company has shown a trend of fluctuating emissions over the years, with total emissions recorded at approximately 24,061,000 kg CO2e in 2014 and about 19,039,000 kg CO2e in 2013. Notably, the Scope 1 emissions decreased from about 7,500,000 kg CO2e in 2014 to 6,700,000 kg CO2e in 2015, indicating some progress in reducing direct emissions. Despite these figures, Chicken of the Sea has not established specific reduction targets or climate pledges, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction initiatives or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Tri-Union Seafoods, LLC, which is part of the Thai Union Group Public Company Limited. This corporate relationship may influence the company's overall climate strategy and performance metrics. Overall, while Chicken of the Sea has made some strides in emissions reduction, the lack of formal targets suggests there is significant room for improvement in their climate commitments.
