Greenhouse gas emissions

Rising average temperatures, changes in rainfall patterns, extreme weather events and other symptoms of climate change threaten the ecosystems on which our supply chains depend.

Doing our part to mitigate these changes is of strategic importance to Danisco’s future.

Conscious supply chain

In order to gain a comprehensive view of our greenhouse gas emissions, we must consider emissions tied to purchased products and services (upstream), from our own operations and from sold products and services (downstream).

Emissions reduction outlook

In past years, we have measured and reported only emissions from Danisco operations, i.e., Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.

However, we have now begun taking a broader “value chain” approach, looking beyond our own boundaries and developing strategies for reducing emissions throughout the entire value chain for the products we make and sell.

The development of strategies for reducing emissions beyond our own plants and throughout the entire value chain are driven

• A growing number of business-to-business requests for greenhouse gas data throughout the supply chain

• Increased public reporting of Scope 3 emissions

• Requests from stakeholders and investors for supply chain emissions and associated risk analyses
