In 2020, FRoSTA reported significant emissions from its production processes, with specific emissions data indicating approximately 32,000 kg CO2e for butter, 14,000 kg CO2e for beef, 3,200 kg CO2e for fresh herbs from heated greenhouses, and 3,000 kg CO2e for fish. These figures reflect the company's commitment to transparency in its environmental impact, although the scope of these emissions (Scope 1, 2, or 3) was not specified. Despite the detailed emissions data, FRoSTA has not set any formal reduction targets or climate pledges, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction initiatives or SBTi targets. The company does not appear to inherit emissions data from a parent organization, maintaining its own reporting standards. As a player in the food industry, FRoSTA's emissions profile highlights the challenges faced by companies in balancing production demands with climate commitments. The lack of specific reduction targets suggests an opportunity for FRoSTA to enhance its sustainability strategy and align with industry best practices in emissions reduction.
