Simplot's reported carbon emissions

Simplot, headquartered in the US, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data for recent years, as there are no available figures on their emissions in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their initiatives. This lack of data suggests that Simplot may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments or reporting practices. In the context of the industry, many companies are increasingly focusing on transparency and setting ambitious targets to reduce their carbon footprints, which may indicate a growing need for Simplot to align with these trends.
