Lancaster Colony's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, Lancaster Colony reported total carbon emissions of approximately 82,685,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes about 42,169,350 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, primarily from stationary combustion, and approximately 40,515,650 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions related to purchased electricity. Notably, the company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Despite the significant emissions figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. This lack of defined goals suggests that while Lancaster Colony is aware of its carbon footprint, it has yet to establish formal strategies for emissions reduction or climate pledges. As the company continues to operate within the food industry, it may face increasing pressure to enhance its sustainability practices and set measurable targets in line with global climate standards.
