In 2023, UTZ reported total carbon emissions of approximately 236,000,000 kg CO2e, a reduction from about 254,500,000 kg CO2e in 2022. The breakdown of emissions for 2023 includes approximately 7,300,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, about 22,700,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and around 207,900,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This indicates a positive trend in reducing overall emissions, particularly in Scope 1 and Scope 2 categories. Despite these reductions, UTZ has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The company continues to focus on its operational emissions while navigating the complexities of its supply chain emissions, which constitute the majority of its carbon footprint. Overall, UTZ's commitment to addressing climate change is evident through its ongoing efforts to monitor and reduce emissions, although further transparency regarding specific reduction strategies would enhance its climate commitment profile.
