Pepsi's reported carbon emissions
PepsiCo, headquartered in the US, has not disclosed specific carbon emissions data for recent years. The latest available emissions data dates back to 2006, when the company reported emissions related to its production processes. For instance, Quaker Oats manufacturing produced approximately 4,600 kg CO2e per tonne of oats, while Walkers Crisps had an energy use of about 3.1 kg CO2e per kg of production. Currently, PepsiCo has not set any publicly available reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or similar frameworks. This lack of specific reduction initiatives highlights a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. As the food and beverage industry increasingly focuses on sustainability, PepsiCo's future commitments will be crucial in addressing its carbon footprint and aligning with global climate goals.
