Insights into Starbucks's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, Starbucks has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover only its total carbon footprint, without separate targets for operational (Scope 1 and 2) or value chain (Scope 3) emissions. This limits the ability to track progress across distinct emissions categories.
Does Starbucks have a target to reduce its total carbon footprint?
As of 2024, Starbucks has set a target to reduce its total carbon footprint, specifically those from Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 sources.
Starbucks's most ambitious carbon footprint target is to reduce its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from a baseline of 12,883,240 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2019, by 50% by 2030.
Instead of reducing total carbon footprint, Starbucks has increased them, with 2024 levels exceeding those of the 2019 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
