Muntons

Muntons, a UK-based malt manufacturing company, has set ambitious climate targets. For 2025, Muntons reported Scope 1 emissions of 10,791,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of 8,563,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of 105,157,000 kg CO2e. This data is directly from Muntons plc.

Muntons has set several notable reduction targets:

• Near-Term Targets:
  • Muntons committed to reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 45% by 2025, using a 2010 base year. This target was achieved early in 2022, and by the end of 2024, they had decarbonised their energy-related emissions by 56% across all UK sites compared to their 2010 baseline. This is a Science Based Target (SBTi) commitment, initially classified as "Well-below 2°C".
  • The company also aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 76.48% by 2035 from a 2018 base year, a target classified as 1.5°C by SBTi.
  • Muntons also commits to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, downstream transportation and distribution, and processing of sold products by 62.0% by 2035 from a 2018 base year.
  • A target to reduce Scope 3 carbon emissions from the growing of malting barley by 30% by 2030 has been set.
  • Muntons aims to achieve Net Zero for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030, having brought this target forward by two decades.
• Long-Term Targets:
  • Muntons is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2040. This SBTi target is classified as 1.5°C.
  • As part of its long-term goals, Muntons aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90.0% by 2040 from a 2018 base year.
  • They also plan to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90.0% by 2040 within the same timeframe.
  • Muntons commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions by 51.5% by 2035 and 72.0% by 2040 from a 2018 base year, while maintaining no deforestation across primary deforestation-linked commodities.
