Pinnacle Foods Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Conagra Brands, Inc.

Pinnacle Foods Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. The company is a current subsidiary of Conagra Brands, Inc., which influences its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As such, any emissions data or reduction targets would be inherited from Conagra Brands, Inc. Pinnacle Foods has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of detailed emissions data suggests that the company may still be in the process of establishing its own climate strategy or reporting framework. As part of its corporate family, Pinnacle Foods is expected to align with Conagra Brands' sustainability efforts, which may include broader industry commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3 categories. However, without specific data or targets, it is challenging to provide a comprehensive overview of Pinnacle Foods' carbon emissions and climate commitments at this time.
