However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by Pioneer Food Group, nor are there any emissions data for the year 2014. The company has not reported any Scope 3 emissions data, which typically includes indirect emissions from the supply chain and product use. Overall, while Pioneer Food Group has made strides in reporting its emissions, further clarity on reduction targets and initiatives would enhance its commitment to climate action.
