UPSIDE Foods, headquartered in the US, currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data for the most recent year, nor does it report specific reduction targets or initiatives. The company has not disclosed any commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. As such, there are no specific figures or scopes of emissions (Scope 1, 2, or 3) to report. In the absence of concrete emissions data and reduction commitments, it is unclear how UPSIDE Foods is addressing its carbon footprint or contributing to climate action within the industry. The lack of transparency regarding emissions and climate strategies may reflect broader trends in the sector, where many companies are still developing their sustainability frameworks.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
UPSIDE Foods is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
