In 2017, Parmalat reported total carbon emissions of approximately 387,149,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 297,410,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. This indicates a slight increase in emissions from 2016, where Scope 1 emissions were about 380,974,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 289,474,000 kg CO2e. Currently, Parmalat has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of defined targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not yet have committed to a structured plan for significant reductions. As a major player in the dairy industry, Parmalat's emissions profile reflects the broader challenges faced by the sector in addressing climate change. The company’s headquarters in Italy positions it within a region increasingly focused on sustainability and carbon reduction efforts.
