Forfarmers

ForFarmers, headquartered in the Netherlands and operating in the food products sector, has established ambitious climate commitments and is actively working to reduce its carbon emissions.

Emissions Overview:

• 2023: Total emissions were approximately 80,091,800 kg CO2e. This comprised about 38,530,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions (including mobile combustion and fugitive emissions) and approximately 41,561,800 kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions (from purchased electricity). Scope 3 data was not disclosed for this year.
• 2022: Total emissions were approximately 66,059,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions totalled around 23,503,000 kg CO2e (from mobile combustion and fugitive emissions), and Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity were approximately 42,638,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 data was not available.
• 2021: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 22,621,000 kg CO2e (from stationary combustion), and Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity were around 84,622,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 data was not disclosed.
• 2020: No specific emissions data was provided for this year.

Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

ForFarmers has set Science Based Targets (SBTi) aligned with a 1.5°C warming pathway.

• Near-Term Targets (by 2030, from a 2022 base year):

  • A commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42%.
  • A commitment to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 42%.
  • Specific targets for Forest, Land, and Agriculture (FLAG) emissions include a 30.3% reduction in absolute Scope 1 FLAG GHG emissions and a 30.3% reduction in absolute Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions by 2030. Additionally, a 42% reduction in Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions beyond the minimum boundary from the use of sold products is targeted within the same timeframe.
  • ForFarmers also aims for no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities, with a target date of 31 December 2025.

• Other Reduction Initiatives:

  • A near-term target to achieve a 10% energy/fuel reduction per tonne compared to 2020, applicable to both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, by 2025.

ForFarmers' climate commitments demonstrate a clear strategy to decarbonise its operations and supply chain, with a focus on absolute emission reductions and land-use practices.
