Carbon in our operations
Continuous decarbonisation remains the most ambitious element of our strategy. Our GHG footprint in Scope 1 and 2 has decreased by 20% compared to 2018.
2026 priorities
Glanbia's ambition is a 50% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 from a 2018 base year. Our decarbonisation approach focuses on improving energy efficiency, expanding renewable electricity use and identifying low carbon technologies that can support long term emissions reductions.
