Pilgrims's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Pilgrim's reported total carbon emissions of approximately 16,129,550 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2, and about 19,268,640,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown includes significant contributions from purchased goods and services (approximately 14,297,276,000 kg CO2e) and use of sold products (about 2,032,021,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2022, the company recorded Scope 1 and 2 emissions of around 16,798,250 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions of about 19,673,089,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight reduction in Scope 3 emissions from 2022 to 2023. Despite these figures, Pilgrim's has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor do they appear to have cascaded any targets from a parent organization. The absence of defined reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate action within the organisation. Overall, Pilgrim's emissions data reflects a substantial carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3, highlighting the importance of addressing upstream and downstream activities in their sustainability efforts.
