Maple Leaf Foods

Maple Leaf Foods, a Canadian food products company, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1.95 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes about 121.1 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 11.6 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 1.82 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions.

The company has set science-based targets to address its climate impact. Maple Leaf Foods aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 30% by 2030, against a 2018 baseline. Additionally, it has pledged to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions intensity by 30% per tonne of product produced by 2030, also from a 2018 baseline. These targets are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to well-below 2°C, as verified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Furthermore, Maple Leaf Foods has maintained its status as the first major carbon neutral food company in the world since 2019. The company also set a goal in 2014 to reduce the intensity of its environmental footprint (including Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions) by 50% by 2025, using a 2014 baseline. Maple Leaf Foods aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by 2025.
