WHAT IS CARBON NEUTRAL?
Carbon neutral means that we do everything in our power to avoid or reduce our emissions on our own, and any currently unavoidable emissions that we put into the atmosphere we offset through the purchase of high-quality, verifiable credits from environmental projects.
A Better Planet
We’re proud to be carbon neutral. We have also set science-based targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative to reduce our absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 30% (2018 baseline) and the intensity (per ton of product produced) of our Scope 3 GHG emissions by 30% (2018 baseline) by 2030.
Together, Planet-forward
Field Roast is proud to be part of the Maple Leaf Foods family and together, we are investing in:
