Ceres Food Emissions 50 Company Benchmark

The Food Emissions 50 Company Benchmark measured corporate progress toward tackling climate risk and accelerating the transition to a lower-emissions economy. From 2021 to 2024, the top 50 food and beverage companies were assessed on the quality of their emissions disclosures, reduction goals, and climate transition action plans. When launched in 2021, few companies comprehensively included value-chain emissions, which represent 80% or more of food companies’ total emissions. As of 2024, a third of the initial companies disclosed these emissions, and nearly half have set or committed to setting comprehensive science-based emission reduction targets.
