Company to Halve Greenhouse Gas Emissions by
2030 and Reach Net Zero by 2050
The Kraft Heinz Company (Nasdaq: KHC) (“Kraft Heinz” or the
“Company”) announced today a pledge to achieve net zero greenhouse
gas (“GHG”) emissions across its operational footprint (Scope 1 and
Scope 2) and entire global supply chain (Scope 3) by 2050,
reaffirming the Company’s commitment to contribute to global
efforts to reduce the ongoing threat of climate change. As a
milestone on its path to achieving net zero emissions, it will
target a near-term emissions reduction of 50% by 2030 across all
three scopes.
Key focus areas of Kraft Heinz’s net zero program include:
- Promoting regenerative and sustainable practices across the
Company’s agricultural supply chain through its Sustainable
Agricultural Practices Manual, which guides efforts to source 100%
of Heinz ketchup tomatoes sustainably by 2025
- Transitioning to more circular and recyclable consumer
packaging
- Procuring a majority of the Company’s electricity from
renewable sources by 2025
- Continuing to transition key on-site manufacturing facilities
to renewable energy sources.
“As one of the world’s largest food and beverage companies, we
take seriously our responsibility to slash our environmental impact
in the face of climate change,” said Kraft Heinz CEO Miguel
Patricio. “Through partnerships with leading NGOs and across our
supply chain, we look to seize opportunities to reduce emissions
and minimize our footprint, from the farms that grow our
ingredients to the manufacturing facilities that prepare our
products.”
In 2020 and 2021, Kraft Heinz conducted a robust assessment
related to its total value chain emissions, including verifying all
three scope emissions by an independent third-party. Its Scope 3
emissions account for approximately 95% of the Company’s total
emissions, so will be a primary focus of the Company’s reduction
efforts. The Company will work in partnership with key suppliers,
including ingredient and packaging suppliers, which account for
approximately 62% and 12% of Kraft Heinz’s Scope 3 footprint
respectively, to reduce emissions across its value chain. This
follows the Company’s own recently updated Supplier Guiding
Principles as a north star. Other focus areas will include upstream
and downstream transportation and distribution, end-of-life
treatment and use of sold products.
Additionally, in 2021, Kraft Heinz renewed its commitment to set
a science-based emissions reduction target by 2023, in alignment
with the new Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Net-Zero
Standard, and will follow the most current, credible, and widely
accepted climate science standards available.
Kraft Heinz plans to share additional information on its roadmap
to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 when the Company announces
its science-based targets, which is expected in 2023. Kraft Heinz
will continue to report annually on its emissions footprint in the
Company’s Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Report.
