Kellanova Carbon Emissions and Climate Commitments

Kellanova, a US-based company operating in the Cereal grains nec industry, has established robust climate commitments with specific emissions reduction targets.

Carbon Emissions Data:

For the reporting year 2024, Kellanova reported a total of approximately 6.84 billion kg CO2e across Scopes 1, 2, and 3. This breaks down into:

• Scope 1 emissions: Approximately 347.23 million kg CO2e.
• Scope 2 emissions (market-based): Approximately 101.29 million kg CO2e.
• Scope 3 emissions: Approximately 5.84 billion kg CO2e.

In the preceding year, 2023, total emissions were approximately 6.94 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of around 347.23 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) of about 101.29 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 of approximately 6.50 billion kg CO2e.

For 2022, Kellanova's total emissions were approximately 8.06 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 381.04 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 211.71 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at roughly 7.48 billion kg CO2e.

In 2021, total emissions amounted to approximately 5.32 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 at around 377.00 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 278.47 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 4.69 billion kg CO2e.

Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

Kellanova is committed to significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions, with targets aligned with a 1.5°C trajectory. The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050.

Key reduction targets include:

• Near-term (by 2030):

  • A reduction of 66.5% in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from a 2015 baseline.
  • A reduction of 37.5% in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from a 2015 baseline.
  • A specific commitment to reduce absolute Scope 3 Food Loss and Waste (FLAG) GHG emissions by 45.45% by 2030 from a 2015 baseline.
  • A commitment to no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities by December 31, 2025.

• Long-term (by 2050):

  • A reduction of 90% in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from a 2015 baseline.
  • A reduction of 90% in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from a 2015 baseline.
  • A commitment to reduce absolute Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions by 72% by 2050 from a 2015 baseline.

These targets are submitted to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are cascaded from Kellanova as a corporate family. Previous targets from Kellogg Company, predating the Kellanova rebranding, also indicated commitments such as a 47% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 20% reduction in absolute Scope 3 emissions by 2030 from a 2015 baseline.
