Gordon Food Service's reported carbon emissions
Gordon Food Service, headquartered in the US, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no emissions figures are available. The company has not outlined any formal reduction targets or commitments through initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. As of now, there are no reported Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures, nor any significant achievements in emissions reduction. The absence of data suggests that Gordon Food Service may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. In the context of the food service industry, companies are increasingly recognising the importance of addressing carbon emissions and setting ambitious targets to mitigate climate impact. However, without specific commitments or data, it is unclear how Gordon Food Service plans to align with these industry standards.
