This brief provides an analysis of the benchmark progress made by 50 of the largest public companies in the food and agriculture sector in North America engaged in the Food Emissions 50 initiative.
The Food Emissions 50 Company Benchmark measures corporate progress toward tackling climate risk in the food sector and accelerating the transition to a lower-emissions economy. Companies are assessed based on the quality of their emissions disclosures, reduction goals, and climate transition action plans. In 2025, Ceres updated the list of Food Emissions 50 companies to include global companies that generate significant revenue in North America. These companies are assessed using public disclosures and 2024 data provided by CDP, a global non-profit that runs the world’s only independent environmental disclosure system, as of March 10, 2025.
Ceres’ latest analysis found Food Emissions 50 companies are making progress in disclosure and taking actions that both reduce emissions and prepare the companies to better assess climate risk and seize opportunities in a more resilient food system.
