Columbia Cheese's reported carbon emissions

Columbia Cheese, headquartered in the US, currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data for the most recent year. As a result, specific figures regarding their emissions in kg CO2e, including Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, are not provided. In the absence of detailed emissions data, it is important to note that Columbia Cheese has not outlined any specific reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Furthermore, there are no documented climate pledges or initiatives aimed at reducing their carbon footprint. As the cheese industry increasingly focuses on sustainability and climate action, Columbia Cheese's lack of publicly stated commitments may reflect a broader industry context where many companies are beginning to set ambitious targets to mitigate their environmental impact. However, without specific data or commitments, it is challenging to assess their current stance on climate action.
