In 2023, Oakland International reported total carbon emissions of approximately 16,668,800 kg CO2e. This figure includes 10,820,200 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 331,200 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 5,848,230 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2040.

To achieve this, Oakland International has established near-term targets to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2021 as the baseline year. Additionally, the company plans to increase its sourcing of renewable electricity from 54% in 2021 to 100% by 2030. For Scope 3 emissions, which include those from purchased goods and services, fuel and energy-related activities, waste generated in operations, and employee commuting, a similar 42% reduction is targeted by 2030.

Long-term, Oakland International aims to reduce absolute emissions across all scopes by 90% by 2040, again using 2021 as the baseline. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and reflect the company's commitment to sustainable practices within the food and staples retailing sector.
