Food Emissions 50: Progress by Food Companies in Disclosing Emissions and Setting Targets
February 17, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Thursday, February 17 @ 11:00 a.m.
In July 2021, Ceres launched the Food Emissions 50, an investor-led initiative to accelerate progress toward a 1.5-degree future in the food and agriculture sector. Seven months into the initiative, 13 top food companies are making progress in addressing scope 3 emissions, which are the largest source of emissions for companies in this sector. Yet many others are lagging on even basic disclosures.
In this webinar, participants will:
– Review progress made by companies like Bunge, Kraft Heinz, and General Mills, as shown in Ceres’ updated Food Emissions 50 Company Benchmark
– Outline priority sector actions investors want to see in the coming year with Thomas Peterson of Green Century
– Identify next steps for companies in this sector, including how investor asks will change with the new Food, Land and Agriculture guidance from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)
Speakers
– Nako Kobayashi, Senior Associate, Food and Forests, Ceres
– Thomas Peterson, Shareholder Advocate, Green Century
– Meryl Richards, Director, Food and Forests, Ceres
