Let us know if this data was useful to you
Hershey Chocolate & Confectionery Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. As a current subsidiary of The Hershey Company, any emissions data or climate commitments would be inherited from this parent organisation. The Hershey Company has made significant strides in addressing climate change, although specific reduction targets or achievements for Hershey Chocolate & Confectionery Corporation are not detailed. The company is engaged in various sustainability initiatives, including commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). However, no specific reduction targets have been outlined in the provided data. As part of its climate strategy, Hershey is likely to focus on reducing its carbon footprint across all scopes of emissions, which include Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from energy), and Scope 3 (indirect emissions from the supply chain). The absence of detailed emissions data suggests that the company may still be in the process of establishing comprehensive reporting mechanisms. In summary, while Hershey Chocolate & Confectionery Corporation is part of a larger corporate family with climate commitments, specific emissions data and reduction targets are currently unavailable.
