In 2024, the largest contributors to Kraft Heinz's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Kraft Heinz reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 412,646 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 25,846 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 15.97 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Kraft Heinz reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 15.97 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 39.77, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Kraft Heinz ranked 6 out of 23 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Kraft Heinz is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, Kraft Heinz reported a total carbon footprint of 25,079,857 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 1.02% decrease compared to 2023, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Kraft Heinz's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 96.3% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 2.06%.a
