Darigold, headquartered in the US, has not disclosed specific carbon emissions data for recent years. The most recent available data dates back to 2009, indicating emissions factors related to production processes, such as approximately 0.058 metric tons CO2e per pound produced and about 0.122 metric tons CO2e per kilowatt-hour used. However, there are no specific total emissions figures provided for Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. Currently, Darigold has not set any formal reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of defined targets suggests that while the company may be aware of its environmental impact, it has yet to establish a clear framework for reducing its carbon footprint. As the dairy industry faces increasing scrutiny regarding sustainability, it will be essential for Darigold to develop and communicate its climate commitments moving forward.
