Pioneer Food Group's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Pioneer Food Group reported total carbon emissions of approximately 94,771,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 57,800,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at around 36,971,000 kg CO2e. This marked a significant reduction from previous years, as emissions in 2021 were approximately 86,497,000 kg CO2e, and in 2020, they were about 80,835,000 kg CO2e. Over the years, Pioneer Food Group has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges. However, the consistent decrease in emissions from 2020 to 2022 indicates a proactive approach to climate action. Pioneer Food Group's emissions data reflects a focus on managing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, which are directly related to their operations and energy consumption. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data suggests that the company may still be developing strategies to address indirect emissions from their supply chain and product lifecycle. Overall, Pioneer Food Group's emissions trajectory shows a positive trend towards sustainability, aligning with industry standards for climate responsibility.
