Newman's Own's reported carbon emissions

Newman's Own, headquartered in the US, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no emissions figures are available. Consequently, there are no reported Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures, nor any documented reduction targets or achievements. The company has not outlined any specific climate commitments or initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions. As such, there is no information regarding Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets or other climate pledges. In the absence of concrete emissions data and reduction initiatives, it is unclear how Newman's Own is addressing climate change within its operations. The lack of transparency in emissions reporting may reflect broader industry challenges in sustainability practices.
