Danish Crown has committed to emission reduction targets under the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), across the entire value chain (Scope 1, 2, and 3) by 2029/30.
In addition, Danish Crown has committed to meeting specific FLAG targets under SBTi. FLAG stands for ‘Forest, Land, and Agriculture’ and is tailored to companies with forestry and agricultural emissions in their value chain.
By aligning with the SBTi, we ensure that our efforts contribute meaningfully and science-backed to the global goal of limiting temperature rise to 1.5°C.
Danish Crown’s commitment to reduce emissions by 2029/2030*
Scope 1 and 2:
42.5% reduction
(All emissions directly from our own production and transport and all indirect emission from e.g. purchased energy such as electricity, heating or cooling)
Scope 3:
42% reduction
(All indirect emissions from up- and downstream of our value chain, so e.g., emissions from production at suppliers or from customer usage)
Scope 3 FLAG emissions:
22.9% reduction for Pork
(per tonne of fresh weight)
(Specific emissions related to companies with forest, land, and agriculture in the value chain)
Scope 3 FLAG emissions:
23.8% reduction for Beef
(per tonne of fresh weight)
(Specific emissions related to companies with forest, land, and agriculture in the value chain)
