In 2022, HiPP reported total carbon emissions of approximately 54,468,000 kg CO2e. This figure reflects the company's global emissions but does not specify the breakdown into Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. In 2021, HiPP's Scope 1 emissions were recorded at about 43,082,000 kg CO2e, indicating a significant focus on direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Looking back to 2020, HiPP's total emissions were approximately 621,531,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 25,896,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions at a substantial 595,635,000 kg CO2e. This data highlights the company's considerable indirect emissions, which are often the largest component of a company's carbon footprint. Despite these figures, HiPP has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they disclosed any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that while HiPP is aware of its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a comprehensive strategy for reduction. Overall, HiPP's emissions data indicates a substantial carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which are critical for the food industry. The company’s commitment to sustainability will be essential as it navigates the challenges of reducing its environmental impact in the coming years.
