In 2023, Mediterranean Brands reported total carbon emissions of approximately 45,504,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. This includes 1,319,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 1,106,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, related to indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity. The majority of their emissions, about 42,504,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which includes emissions from the entire value chain, such as purchased goods and services (37,038,000 kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (4,290,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2022, Mediterranean Brands' total emissions were approximately 60,163,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 1,767,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 1,383,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year were about 60,163,000 kg CO2e, indicating a significant reduction in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. Despite these figures, Mediterranean Brands has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor do they participate in recognised climate pledges such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of formal commitments suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies within the organisation. Overall, Mediterranean Brands' emissions data reflects a substantial footprint, particularly in Scope 3, highlighting the importance of addressing emissions throughout their supply chain to achieve meaningful climate commitments.
