In 2023, Adecoagro reported total carbon emissions of approximately 711,079,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 35,884,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, resulting in a combined total of about 746,963,000 kg CO2e. This marks a reduction from 2022, where the company emitted approximately 861,298,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 and 40,114,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2, totalling around 901,412,000 kg CO2e. In 2021, Adecoagro's emissions included approximately 898,417,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 35,884,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 268,036,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3, leading to a total of about 1,202,337,000 kg CO2e. The company has shown a trend of reducing its Scope 1 and 2 emissions over the years, with a notable decrease from 2021 to 2023. Despite these reductions, Adecoagro has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of formal reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively managing its emissions, it may not yet have established a comprehensive framework for long-term climate commitments.
