Muntons's reported carbon emissions

Muntons, a malt manufacturing company based in the UK, has reported significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and established ambitious climate commitments. For the reporting year 2025, Muntons recorded total emissions of approximately 124.5 billion kg CO2e. This comprises Scope 1 emissions of about 10.8 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 8.6 billion kg CO2e, and substantial Scope 3 emissions of around 105.2 billion kg CO2e. The previous year, 2024, saw total emissions of approximately 114.4 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 12.2 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 8.8 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 93.4 billion kg CO2e. Muntons is committed to reducing its environmental impact. The company has set science-based targets (SBTs) in line with climate goals. Notably, they committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 45% by 2025 from a 2010 baseline. This target has been achieved, with an updated figure of a 56% decarbonisation of energy-related emissions across UK sites by the end of 2024, against the 2010 baseline. Further strengthening their climate strategy, Muntons has committed to ambitious long-term goals. They aim to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across their value chain by 2040. This includes significant reductions in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions of 90.0% by 2040 from a 2018 base year, and a 90.0% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions over the same timeframe. Muntons also has near-term targets, including a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 GHG emissions by 76.48% and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 76.48% by 2035, both from a 2018 base year. They also target a 62.0% reduction in specific Scope 3 emissions (purchased goods and services, downstream transportation and distribution, and processing of sold products) by 2035. Additionally, Muntons has a target to reduce Scope 3 FLAG (Forest, Land and Agriculture) GHG emissions by 51.5% by 2035.
