Origin Green's reported carbon emissions

Origin Green, an organisation in the food products nec industry based in Ireland (IE), has disclosed its carbon emissions data across various years. For the reporting year 2019, Origin Green reported a total of approximately 125 million kg CO2e. This total comprises Scope 1 emissions of about 45 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 30 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of roughly 50 million kg CO2e, with employee commute and purchased goods and services being specific disclosed categories within Scope 3. The combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions for 2019 were approximately 75 million kg CO2e. In 2014, Origin Green reported total emissions of approximately 2.9 billion kg CO2e. This figure breaks down into Scope 1 emissions of about 495,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 1.86 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of roughly 550 million kg CO2e. The combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions for 2014 were approximately 2.35 billion kg CO2e. For 2022, Origin Green reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalling approximately 31.8 million kg CO2e. The preceding year, 2016, saw Scope 1 and 2 emissions of about 11.4 million kg CO2e. Origin Green's reporting also includes production emission factors for specific products. For instance, in 2023, their guidance document indicated a Scope 3 emissions intensity of 330.7 kg CO2e per tonne. In earlier years, average carbon footprints were reported, such as approximately 9.22 tonnes CO2e per tonne of beef in 2021 and 2018, and approximately 0.91 tonnes CO2e per tonne of dairy in 2021. These figures reflect an industry context where detailed emissions data for certain scopes may not always be fully disclosed. Origin Green's climate commitments are detailed in documents such as "Pathways to Net Zero," which provides guidance for emissions reduction. While specific reduction targets and achievements are not explicitly detailed in the provided data, the company's focus on sustainability within the food sector suggests a commitment to managing its environmental impact. No information regarding Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments or Climate Pledge participation was available. The organisation's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organisation; it appears to be reported directly.
