In 2022, Lactogal Produtos Alimentares S.A. reported total emissions of approximately 5,980 tonnes CO2e, which are classified under Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This figure reflects the company's operational carbon footprint, calculated on a market-based approach. In comparison, the previous year, 2021, Lactogal's emissions were about 5,350 tonnes CO2e, indicating a rise in emissions year-on-year. Currently, Lactogal has not set any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor do they participate in recognised climate pledges such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of disclosed Scope 3 emissions data suggests that the company may not yet be fully addressing its entire carbon footprint, which typically includes emissions from the supply chain and product lifecycle. As of now, Lactogal's climate commitments appear limited, with no significant reduction initiatives reported. The company operates within a broader industry context where many organisations are increasingly focusing on comprehensive climate strategies and emissions reductions.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Lactogal is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
