Sanderson Farms's reported carbon emissions

In 2019, Sanderson Farms, headquartered in the US, reported total emissions of approximately 469,931,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 247,365,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 222,566,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. Notably, the company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, which encompasses indirect emissions from sources such as purchased goods and services, business travel, and employee commuting. Despite the significant emissions reported, Sanderson Farms has not established any specific reduction targets or climate commitments, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction initiatives or SBTi targets. The company operates as a current subsidiary of Cargill, Incorporated, which may influence its climate strategies and reporting practices. Overall, while Sanderson Farms has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of comprehensive climate commitments and reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their sustainability efforts.
