Campbell Soup Sets 2030 Goals

Campbell Soup Company announced new science-based targets to reduce GHG emissions as part of its overall environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy outlined in its 2022 Corporate Responsibility Report.

The food company’s new targets commit to reducing Scope 1 and 2 GHG gas emissions 42% by fiscal 2030 from a fiscal 2020 base year and Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services and upstream transportation and distribution 25% within the same time frame.

“Since our founding in 1869, Campbell has been committed to making a positive impact on the communities we call home and the planet we share,” said Mark Clouse, Campbell’s CEO in a statement. “We are taking a holistic approach to ESG and focusing on areas where we believe we can make a meaningful difference as we unlock our full growth potential and create value for all our stakeholders.”

Campbell set GHG emissions reduction goals for its own operations in 2010. The Science Based Targets initiative approved Campbell’s emissions reduction targets as consistent with levels required to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.
