Stonyfield Organic announces goal of 30% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030
Stonyfield Organic's carbon reduction efforts will also focus on energy, waste, packaging and logistics.
Stonyfield Organic, Londonderry, N.H., announced its science-based target to reduce carbon output by a target of 30% by 2030. With approval by The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), Stonyfield Organic's target is aligned with the Paris Agreement's broader goals to limit global warming to less than 2°C and cut global greenhouse gas emissions by 49-72% from 2010 levels by 2050.
"We know there is great urgency to solve climate change," says Lisa Drake, director of sustainability innovation. "A healthy planet is one of Stonyfield's guiding tenets, and we're proud to be among the earliest corporations to take significant action toward driving down global greenhouse gas emissions. As a member of the Ceres BICEP Network since 2009, Stonyfield is equally as committed to advocating for policies that will help the U.S. reduce emissions at the pace and scale necessary to tackle climate change. We are hopeful that more North American companies will join us in making science-based targets a standard business practice to ensure the U.S. remains a global leader in reducing carbon emissions."
