Unfi

UNFI, a US-based food products company, reported total market-based emissions of approximately 26.3 billion kg CO2e in 2024. This figure includes about 334.1 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 120.4 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 25.9 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions.

For 2023, the company's total market-based emissions were approximately 25 billion kg CO2e, comprising around 344.1 million kg CO2e in Scope 1, 137.4 million kg CO2e in Scope 2 (market-based), and 24.6 billion kg CO2e in Scope 3.

UNFI has established several climate commitments:

• The company aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions from all other emission sources by 50% by the end of fiscal year 2030, using a 2020 baseline. These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to well-below 2°C.
• UNFI also commits to reduce Scope 1 and 3 heavy freight well-to-wheel (WTW) greenhouse gas emissions from transportation by 38% per tonne kilometre by fiscal year 2030, from a fiscal year 2020 base year.
• Furthermore, UNFI plans to reduce absolute Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions from purchased goods and services by 25% within the same timeframe.
• The company has a near-term goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2030 for Scope 1 and 2, and a long-term goal of net-zero emissions by 2050 for Scope 1 and 2.
• UNFI is also working towards zero waste to landfill in its distribution centre operations by 2030 and a 30% reduction in distribution centre energy intensity from a 2020 baseline by 2030. They have also adjusted the baseline for their target to reduce food waste from distribution centres by 50% by the end of fiscal year 2025 to reflect a fiscal year 2022 baseline.
