Lactalis

Lactalis, a dairy products company headquartered in France, has set ambitious climate targets. The company aims for carbon neutrality by 2050, engaging its entire value chain across scopes 1, 2, and 3.

For emissions, Lactalis reported approximately 44.9 billion kg CO2e in 2023. This total comprised about 1.9 billion kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions, roughly 589 million kg CO2e in Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 42.4 billion kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions. In 2022, Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled approximately 2.1 billion kg CO2e.

Lactalis has established several reduction initiatives:

• Near-term: A commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 46.2% by 2030, using 2019 as a baseline year. Additionally, they aim to reduce Scope 3 emissions by 42% by 2030, with a 2021 baseline. They are also targeting a 30.3% reduction in Scope 3 FLAG (Forest, Land, and Agriculture) emissions by 2030, from a 2021 baseline.
• Long-term: Lactalis is working towards reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050, from a 2019 baseline. They also have a long-term goal to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050, from a 2022 baseline. Further long-term targets include reducing Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions by 72% by 2050, from a 2022 baseline.

Lactalis's emissions data is inherited from its parent organisation, Groupe Lactalis S.A.
