Aramark

Aramark, a US-based food service contractor, has set ambitious climate commitments. The company aims for net-zero value chain greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, with a specific long-term target to achieve a 90% absolute reduction in all scopes from a 2019 baseline.

For the fiscal year 2025, Aramark reported total emissions of approximately 5.14 billion kg CO2e. This figure comprises roughly 53.86 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 2.04 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and about 5.09 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3.

In the fiscal year 2024, total emissions were approximately 5.32 billion kg CO2e. This included around 51.67 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, approximately 22.91 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and about 5.25 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3.

Earlier reporting for fiscal year 2022 showed total emissions of approximately 6.46 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at roughly 388 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 49 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 6.07 billion kg CO2e. In fiscal year 2021, total emissions were approximately 4.25 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 315 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at roughly 52 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 3.89 billion kg CO2e.

Aramark's climate strategy includes near-term targets such as a 57.1% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by FY2030 from a FY2019 base year. They also aim for a 28% absolute reduction in Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products by FY2030, also from a FY2019 baseline. Furthermore, Aramark is committed to having 62% of its suppliers, by emissions for purchased goods and services and upstream transportation and distribution, set their own science-based targets by FY2027. The company also has a commitment to eliminate all operational emissions by 2040.
