In 2021, Ardent Mills reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,918,257,000 kg CO2e. The majority of these emissions, about 3,706,517,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, indicating significant indirect emissions primarily from their supply chain and product use. The remaining emissions, approximately 211,740,000 kg CO2e, are classified as Scope 1 and 2, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources and indirect emissions from purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. Currently, Ardent Mills has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. This lack of defined climate commitments may reflect broader industry challenges in addressing emissions, particularly within the agricultural and milling sectors. As the company continues to navigate its environmental impact, further transparency regarding future climate strategies and goals will be essential for stakeholders and the public.
