National Potato Council
The National Potato Council (NPC), headquartered in the United States, serves as the leading voice for the potato industry, representing growers, shippers, and processors across the nation. Founded in 1948, the NPC has played a pivotal role in advocating for policies that benefit the potato sector, focusing on sustainability, research, and market development. Operating primarily in key agricultural regions, the NPC is dedicated to enhancing the competitiveness of U.S. potatoes through innovative practices and strategic partnerships. Its core offerings include research initiatives, marketing support, and advocacy efforts that highlight the nutritional benefits and versatility of potatoes. With a strong market position, the NPC has achieved notable milestones in promoting potato consumption and addressing industry challenges, solidifying its reputation as a vital resource for stakeholders in the potato industry.

National Potato Council's reported carbon emissions
In 2015, the National Potato Council reported total carbon emissions of approximately 113,700,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions accounted for about 113,700,000,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions were approximately 34,000,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled around 79,700,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite the significant emissions figures, the National Potato Council has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. This lack of defined reduction strategies may reflect broader industry challenges in addressing climate change impacts. The Council's focus appears to be on understanding and managing emissions rather than committing to specific reduction goals at this time.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks
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.
National Potato Council is not committed to any reduction initiatives 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.
