HUNT
VALLEY, Md., Aug. 4, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- McCormick & Company, Incorporated (NYSE: MKC),
a global leader in flavor, today announced that its emission
reduction targets have been officially approved by SBTi (The
Science Based Targets Initiative) and are consistent with levels
required to meet the goals set by the Paris Agreement. The
Company achieved its 2025 greenhouse gas commitments four years
early for scope 1 and 2, and recently raised the ambition of its
goals to reduce absolute scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions
by 42% by 2030.
"McCormick is delivering against our ambitious Purpose-led
Performance agenda using science-based targets to reduce our impact
on the planet we all share. As a leader in the flavor
industry, we embrace the unique role we play in creating a
sustainable future for generations to come," said Lawrence Kurzius, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer for McCormick.
The targets covering greenhouse gas emissions from McCormick's
operations (scope 1 and 2) are consistent with reductions required
to keep global warming to 1.5°C, which is what the latest climate
science says is needed to prevent the most damaging effects of
climate change. McCormick's target for the emissions from its
value chain (scope 3) meet SBTi's criteria and are in line with
best practices. "We are extremely pleased to be one of a
select number of companies to achieve SBTi validation. We
believe in leveraging science to achieve all of our greenhouse gas
emission reduction goals as well as our Net Zero by 2050
commitment." said Michael Okoroafor,
McCormick's Chief Sustainability Officer.
