St. LOUIS — Post Holdings, Inc. has announced a scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction target, which will further the company’s climate transition commitments.
The company’s previous commitment of a 30% reduction of scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030 will now include a 30% reduction in scope 3 emissions intensity from sourced ingredients and packaging, also by 2030.
“The upstream supply chain, and specifically purchased goods and services, represent the largest source of GHG emissions for a consumer-packaged goods company, said Nick Martin, senior director of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) at Post Holdings. “Our scope 3 reduction commitment is a very meaningful pledge by our organization. Pursuing this target benefits the environment, while providing an opportunity to further strengthen partnerships with our largest suppliers.”
As part of its climate transition plan and scope 3 GHG goal commitment, Post has teamed up with two industry collective action initiatives that will allow the company to collect more accurate scope 3 GHG data directly from suppliers. The company joined the CDP Supply Chain program, a coalition of more than 280 members engaging over 47,000 global suppliers on environmental issues and climate resiliency, and the Supplier Leadership on Climate Transition program, a coalition of 20 global companies providing suppliers with an online learning platform, tools and technical assistance to accelerate their climate actions.
