This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 53.86 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of roughly 2.04 million kg CO2e (location-based: approximately 21.64 million kg CO2e), and Scope 3 emissions of around 5.09 billion kg CO2e. In the prior year, 2024, Aramark's total emissions were approximately 5.32 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 51.67 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of roughly 22.91 million kg CO2e (location-based: approximately 25.55 million kg CO2e), and Scope 3 emissions of around 5.25 billion kg CO2e.

Looking further back, in 2021, the company's total emissions were approximately 4.25 billion kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of about 314.90 million kg CO2e (with mobile combustion accounting for approximately 168.42 million kg CO2e), Scope 2 emissions of roughly 52.28 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 3.89 billion kg CO2e. Notable Scope 3 categories included purchased goods and services at approximately 1.98 billion kg CO2e, business travel at about 68.71 million kg CO2e, waste generated in operations at roughly 4.33 million kg CO2e, and fuel and energy-related activities at around 72.96 million kg CO2e. For 2019, Aramark reported total emissions of approximately 5.27 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions of about 48.25 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of roughly 22.87 million kg CO2e (location-based: approximately 27.28 million kg CO2e), and Scope 3 emissions of around 5.20 billion kg CO2e.

Aramark is committed to several significant climate initiatives. The company has set Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated targets. It aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by FY2050. This long-term commitment includes reducing absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 90% by FY2050, using FY2019 as a baseline.

For near-term reductions, Aramark has committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 57.1% by FY2030 from a FY2019 base year. Furthermore, the company aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 28% by FY2030, also from a FY2019 base year. As part of its upstream Scope 3 efforts, Aramark commits that 62% of its suppliers, by emissions covering purchased goods and services and upstream transportation and distribution, will have science-based targets by FY2027.
