Pioneer Food Group's reported carbon emissions
In 2019, Pioneer Food Group reported total carbon emissions of approximately 315,059,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes about 226,094,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and around 88,094,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company has shown a significant reduction in emissions over the years, with a notable decrease from 400,034,000 kg CO2e in 2015 to the 2019 total. Despite these reductions, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of specific reduction initiatives suggests that while Pioneer Food Group has made progress in reducing its carbon footprint, it may benefit from establishing formal targets to further enhance its climate commitments. Overall, Pioneer Food Group's emissions data reflects a commitment to reducing its environmental impact, although further transparency and strategic planning could strengthen its climate action efforts.
