Sun-Maid's reported carbon emissions

Sun-Maid, headquartered in the US, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as there are no available figures for kg CO2e emissions. Additionally, the company has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. In the absence of specific emissions data and reduction initiatives, it is important to note that many companies in the food industry are increasingly focusing on sustainability and climate action. This includes efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across their operations, often through improved energy efficiency, sustainable sourcing, and waste reduction strategies.
