Sysco Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Sysco Corporation's commitment to reducing its environmental impact is demonstrated through its carbon emissions reporting and ambitious climate targets. In 2022, Sysco reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 74.2 billion kg CO2e. This figure encompasses Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. Breaking down the 2022 emissions: * **Scope 1 emissions** amounted to approximately 1,064,620,000 kg CO2e. * **Scope 2 emissions**, on a market-based approach, were approximately 227,420,000 kg CO2e. * **Scope 3 emissions** were substantial, with **purchased goods and services** accounting for the largest portion at approximately 63,736,000,000 kg CO2e. Other significant Scope 3 categories include **processing of sold products** (approximately 2,243,000,000 kg CO2e), **fuel and energy-related activities** (approximately 1,942,000,000 kg CO2e), and **upstream transportation and distribution** (approximately 6,219,000,000 kg CO2e). Sysco has set a near-term target to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 27.5% by 2030, using 2019 as the base year. This target has been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and is considered consistent with reductions required to keep warming to "Well-below 2°C". Furthermore, Sysco has committed to having 67% of its suppliers, by emissions covering purchased goods and services and upstream transportation and distribution, adopt science-based targets by 2026. In previous years, Sysco reported total emissions of approximately 1.62 billion kg CO2e in 2018, with Scope 1 emissions at around 1,138,283,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 market-based emissions at approximately 313,181,000 kg CO2e. For 2019, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1,300,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 market-based emissions were approximately 320,000,000 kg CO2e. In 2010, Sysco reported Scope 2 location-based emissions of approximately 350,000,000 kg CO2e. Sysco's climate commitments are self-declared and not cascaded from a parent organisation.
