The World Food Programme (WFP), headquartered in Rome, Italy, is a leading humanitarian organisation dedicated to combating global hunger. Founded in 1961, WFP has made significant strides in food assistance, emergency response, and nutrition support, operating in over 80 countries worldwide. As the largest humanitarian agency addressing hunger, WFP provides vital services such as food distribution, cash-based transfers, and nutritional support, uniquely tailored to meet the needs of vulnerable populations. Notable achievements include being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2020 for its efforts to combat hunger amidst conflict and crises. With a strong market position, WFP continues to innovate in food security and resilience-building, making a profound impact on millions of lives globally.

The World Food Programme (WFP) currently does not have available emissions data for the most recent year, nor are there specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. Without concrete figures or defined goals, it is challenging to assess their carbon emissions or the effectiveness of their climate strategies. However, WFP is actively engaged in addressing climate change through various initiatives aimed at reducing their environmental impact. As the organisation continues to develop its climate commitments, it is expected to align with industry standards and best practices in sustainability.
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.
WFP is not committed to any reduction initiatives 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.
