By 2025, Smithfield will reduce its absolute GHG emissions by 25%.
Smithfield Foods, Inc., Smithfield, Va., is said to become the first major protein company to announce a far-reaching greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goal throughout its entire supply chain, from feed grain to packaged bacon.
By 2025, Smithfield will reduce its absolute GHG emissions by 25%. When achieved, this goal will reduce emissions by more than 4 million metric tons, equivalent to removing 900,000 cars from the road. Smithfield collaborated with Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) in setting its goal.
