Aramark's reported carbon emissions

Aramark's carbon emissions and climate commitments demonstrate a commitment to reducing its environmental impact. **Emissions Data:** In 2022, Aramark reported total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of approximately 6.47 billion kg CO2e. This figure was comprised of: * **Scope 1 emissions:** Approximately 388 million kg CO2e. * **Scope 2 emissions:** Approximately 49.5 million kg CO2e. * **Scope 3 emissions:** Approximately 6.07 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services accounting for the largest portion at roughly 4.04 billion kg CO2e. For 2021, Aramark reported total GHG emissions of approximately 4.25 billion kg CO2e. This included: * **Scope 1 emissions:** Approximately 315 million kg CO2e. * **Scope 2 emissions:** Approximately 52.3 million kg CO2e. * **Scope 3 emissions:** Approximately 3.89 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services contributing approximately 1.98 billion kg CO2e. In 2019, Aramark reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 367 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 73.7 million kg CO2e (market-based). Scope 3 emissions for this year included business travel (approximately 27.3 million kg CO2e), employee commute (approximately 66.2 million kg CO2e), waste generated in operations (approximately 14.6 million kg CO2e), and fuel and energy-related activities (approximately 85.9 million kg CO2e). Data for purchased goods and services in Scope 3 was missing for 2019. **Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:** Aramark has set ambitious climate targets aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Key commitments include: * **Net-Zero Goal:** To achieve net-zero value chain GHG emissions by no later than 2050. This long-term commitment involves an absolute emissions reduction of 90% by 2050 from a 2019 baseline, as per SBTi commitments. * **Near-Term Targets:** * Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 57.1% by FY2030 from a FY2019 base year, aligning with a 1.5°C pathway. * Reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 28% by FY2030 from a FY2019 base year. * Ensure 62% of suppliers by emissions, covering purchased goods and services and upstream transportation and distribution, have science-based targets by FY2027. * **Operational Emissions:** Aramark is committed to eliminating all operational emissions by 2040. * **Specific Scope Targets:** * A 50% reduction in Scope 1 emissions from a 2020 baseline by 2030. * A 50% reduction in Scope 2 emissions from a 2020 baseline by 2030. These targets reflect Aramark's strategy to integrate climate considerations across its operations and value chain, contributing to global decarbonisation efforts.
