In 2023, Hanover Foods Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,289,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes about 749,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and the remaining emissions are classified under Scope 2, accounting for the indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. Despite the significant emissions reported, Hanover Foods Corporation has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. There are no data cascaded from a parent company, indicating that all reported figures are directly from Hanover Foods Corporation without influence from a corporate family relationship. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, which would include indirect emissions from the value chain, nor have they committed to any industry-standard climate initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). As such, Hanover Foods Corporation's current climate strategy appears to be in the early stages, with no formal pledges or reduction targets outlined.
