Climate Goals & Targets

Long-term Goals:
  • Net-Zero targets (for some companies, not yet SBTi validated)
Short-term Goals:
  • Eliminate deforestation from supply chains by 2025 (for some companies)

Environmental Challenges

  • Lack of SBTi-validated 1.5-degree aligned targets for most companies.
  • Insufficient financial resource disclosure for decarbonization activities.
  • Limited participatory approaches in developing emission reduction plans.
  • Inadequate reporting on progress towards deforestation and human rights commitments.
  • Lack of commitment to phase out fossil fuels.
  • Evidence of lobbying activities conflicting with Paris Agreement goals for some companies.
Mitigation Strategies
  • Companies are encouraged to increase the ambition and scope of their climate commitments and ensure implementation throughout their supply chains.
  • Companies should make the development of their emission reduction strategies participatory and inclusive.
  • Companies should support sourcing models that strengthen small-scale producers’ ability to implement low-carbon, resilient, and regenerative agriculture practices.
  • Companies should recognize the unique role of women in the agricultural transition and actively support women’s inclusion in agricultural supply chains.

Supply Chain Management

Responsible Procurement
  • Policies for addressing supplier non-compliance (for some companies)
