Sysco Corporation's reported carbon emissions
Sysco Corporation, headquartered in the United States, has set ambitious climate commitments aimed at reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Although specific emissions data for the most recent year is not available, Sysco has committed to reducing its absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 27.5% by the year 2030, using 2019 as the baseline year. This target aligns with the science-based targets initiative (SBTi) and is designed to contribute to global efforts to limit warming to well below 2°C. In addition to its direct emissions reductions, Sysco aims for 67% of its suppliers, based on emissions from purchased goods and services as well as upstream transportation and distribution, to establish their own science-based targets by 2026. This comprehensive approach underscores Sysco's commitment to not only addressing its own emissions but also influencing its supply chain to adopt sustainable practices. The target includes biogenic emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks, reflecting a holistic view of the company's environmental impact. As Sysco progresses towards these goals, it positions itself as a leader in the food and staples retailing sector, actively contributing to climate action and sustainability initiatives.
