We will be led by science and will partner and support Research and Development that will help bridge the remaining gap between ambition and execution.

We will transparently report on our efforts, and with support from the Carbon Trust, we are working with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to reduce our emissions in line with climate science.

We have adopted several strategies to achieve emission reductions:

  • A Global commitment to invest $1 billion in incremental capital expenditures over the next decade for emission reduction projects
  • $100 million by 2030 in research and development projects to assist producer efforts to strengthen and scale regenerative farming practices.
