In 2023, the company's total emissions were approximately 5.76 billion kg CO2e. This figure comprises about 796 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, approximately 62.8 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and around 4.90 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3.

Previously, in 2021, Dole plc's total emissions stood at approximately 9.84 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions around 1.01 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at about 101 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling roughly 8.73 billion kg CO2e.

Dole plc has established several climate commitments. The company aims for a 42.3% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030, using 2020 as the base year. A further commitment targets a 25% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions by 2030, also from a 2020 baseline. Looking further ahead, Dole plc commits to a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 2050, with the year 2020 as the starting point. Additionally, the company has set near-term net-zero targets for Scope 1 and Scope 2 CO2 emissions at the farm level by 2030, within Dole-led operations.

The company's sustainability reports are available for review, including documents detailing their carbon reduction plans. While data for specific emissions categories like purchased goods and services, business travel, and employee commute within Scope 3 were reported as missing for some periods, Dole plc is committed to transparency and reduction initiatives across its operations.
