Notably, Post Holdings also reported significant Scope 3 emissions, primarily from purchased goods and services, which totalled approximately 3.8 million tonnes CO2e in 2021. Post Holdings has been actively engaging in climate commitments, as evidenced by their participation in the CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project), where they received a score of "B" in 2022 and "B-" in 2023, reflecting their ongoing efforts to improve transparency and reduce emissions. However, they have not set specific reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal frameworks. Overall, while Post Holdings has made strides in reporting and understanding their carbon footprint, the company continues to face challenges in reducing overall emissions, particularly in Scope 3 categories, which represent a significant portion of their total emissions profile.
