Hormel Foods LLC's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Hormel Foods Corporation

Hormel Foods LLC, headquartered in the US, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Hormel Foods Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting. Despite the lack of detailed emissions data, Hormel Foods LLC is part of a broader corporate strategy that includes various climate initiatives. However, there are no documented reduction targets or specific commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges at this time. As a subsidiary, Hormel Foods LLC may inherit climate-related data and initiatives from Hormel Foods Corporation, which is responsible for setting overarching sustainability goals. The absence of specific emissions figures and reduction targets suggests that Hormel Foods LLC is still in the process of developing its climate strategy or reporting framework. In summary, while Hormel Foods LLC is engaged in the climate conversation through its corporate family, it currently lacks specific emissions data and defined reduction targets.
