Let us know if this data was useful to you
Ghirardelli Chocolate Company, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG, which means that any emissions data or climate commitments may be inherited from this parent organisation. As part of its climate initiatives, Ghirardelli follows the sustainability strategies set by Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG. This includes participation in various climate-related initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are cascaded from Lindt & Sprüngli. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Ghirardelli itself have not been disclosed. While Ghirardelli has not outlined its own reduction targets, it is aligned with the broader commitments of its parent company, which aims to address climate change through sustainable practices and emissions reductions. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction targets highlights the need for further transparency in Ghirardelli's climate commitments.
