Hillshire Brands Company's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Tyson Foods, Inc.

Hillshire Brands Company, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. As a current subsidiary of Tyson Foods, Inc., any emissions data or climate commitments may be inherited from its parent company. Hillshire Brands has not publicly disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction commitments suggests that the company may still be in the process of developing its climate strategy. As part of the broader industry context, Tyson Foods, Inc. has made commitments to reduce its carbon footprint, which may influence Hillshire Brands' future climate actions. However, without specific data or targets from Hillshire Brands itself, it is challenging to provide a comprehensive overview of its carbon emissions and climate commitments.
