Heinz

Heinz reported total emissions of approximately 25 billion kg CO2e in 2024. This includes about 412.6 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 349.1 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 24.15 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3. Their Scope 3 emissions were primarily driven by purchased goods and services (17.77 billion kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (2.29 billion kg CO2e).

Looking back, their total emissions have shown a downward trend from approximately 28.47 billion kg CO2e in 2022 and 25.29 billion kg CO2e in 2023.

Heinz has set ambitious climate commitments. They aim to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across their entire value chain (Scopes 1, 2, and 3) by 2050, with a near-term target to halve these emissions by 2030, using a 2021 base year. These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are aligned with a 1.5°C global warming scenario. Specifically, they commit to a 50% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 from a 2021 base year, and a 50% absolute reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions within the same timeframe. For the longer term, they target a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 2050 from a 2021 base year. Additionally, within Scope 3, they aim for a 30.3% absolute reduction in Forest, Land, and Agriculture (FLAG) GHG emissions by 2030, and a 72% reduction by 2050. Heinz also commits to no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities by December 31, 2025. They also have an intensity target to reduce energy use intensity by 15% across their manufacturing facilities by 2025 (per metric ton of product made).
