Sanford's reported carbon emissions

This marked a significant increase in total emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 3 emissions. Over the years, Sanford has shown fluctuations in its emissions. For instance, in 2022, total emissions were about 289,627,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 57,076,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 1,466,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 212,065,000 kg CO2e. The company has not set specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. Sanford's emissions data reflects a broader industry context where companies are increasingly pressured to disclose and reduce their carbon footprints. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may need to enhance its commitment to climate action to align with global sustainability goals.
