Del Monte Foods has made significant climate commitments, aligning with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Net-Zero Standard. The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by FY2050.

Their near-term targets, with a FY2021 base year, include:

• A 42% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by FY2030.
• A 25% absolute reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions by FY2030.
• A 30.3% absolute reduction in Scope 3 FLAG (Forest, Land and Agriculture) GHG emissions by FY2030, with a commitment to maintaining no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities.

For long-term targets, also from a FY2021 base year, Del Monte Foods commits to:

• A 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by FY2050.
• A 90% absolute reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions by FY2050.
• A 72% absolute reduction in Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions by FY2050.

These targets include both FLAG emissions and removals. The company emphasizes reducing or eliminating the majority of existing emissions, aiming for at least a 90% reduction, thereby minimising the use of carbon credits, in line with SBTi requirements.
