Unfi's reported carbon emissions

United Natural Foods (UNFI), a US-based food products company, reported a total of approximately 26.0 billion kg CO2e emissions for its 2024 reporting year. This figure encompasses Scope 1, Scope 2 (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions. In the 2024 reporting year, UNFI's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 334.1 million kg CO2e, and its Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were approximately 120.4 million kg CO2e. The company's Scope 3 emissions for the same period were approximately 25.9 billion kg CO2e. For the 2023 reporting year, UNFI's total emissions were approximately 25.0 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 344.1 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) at about 137.4 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2023 were approximately 24.6 billion kg CO2e. UNFI has established several climate commitments and targets. It aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from all other emission sources by 50% by the end of FY2030, using a FY2020 baseline. Furthermore, the company commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services by 25% within the same timeframe. UNFI also aims to reduce Scope 1 and 3 heavy freight well-to-wheel (WTW) GHG emissions from transportation by 38% per tonne kilometre by FY2030, also from a FY2020 base year. Additionally, UNFI has a target to reduce food waste from its distribution centres by 50% by the end of FY2025, with an adjusted baseline reflecting FY2022. The company also aims for zero waste to landfill in its distribution centre operations by 2030. Historically, UNFI has set targets to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions to near zero by 2025. It also has a long-term aspiration to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
