Our climate journey
The agriculture sector is one of the key opportunities identified to mitigate climate change, with a focus on more sustainable food production and transition to lower-carbon energy sources. Meeting these objectives will require new tools, new technologies and ingenuity, which is why the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ sustainability team has taken measures to embed a climate focus in our governance, strategic decision-making, operations and engagement with supply chain partners.
Greenhouse gas emissions
Developing our Scope 1 and 2 inventory
Measuring our GHG emissions and establishing an inventory is a necessary step before identifying actions that can reduce emissions in the long term. That is why in fiscal year 2024, Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ engaged an independent third-party firm to help complete our Scope 1 and 2 baseline inventory, an important milestone that will help identify and unlock additional opportunities for innovation and efficiency.
Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ greenhouse gas emissions
Total fiscal year 2024 GHG emissions in metric tons: 3,187,869 tCO2e
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions were calculated using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, the leading global standard for measuring and reporting emissions, and included more than 200 facilities and 500 mobile assets across our global operations. Primary data — direct consumption measurements — is the highest-quality data and allows a more accurate and transparent accounting of GHG emissions, whereas secondary data is more generalized and based on estimates. About 97% of the data acquired in our work is primary, offering a robust and more precise baseline of our fiscal year 2024 Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
