In 2024, United Breweries (Holdings) Limited reported total carbon emissions of approximately 13,828,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 15,299,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, resulting in a combined total of around 29,127,000,000 kg CO2e. This marks a significant increase from 2023, where emissions were approximately 20,000,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 22,000,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, leading to a total of around 42,000,000,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, the company reported lower emissions, with Scope 1 at about 8,454,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 33,953,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, United Breweries has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data indicates a potential area for future reporting and improvement. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, reflecting its independent reporting status. Overall, while United Breweries has made strides in transparency regarding its carbon footprint, the lack of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate commitments moving forward.
