Meat and dairy industry commitments and actions to address methane emissions

The Changing Markets Foundation and partner organisations write to FrieslandCampina to highlight the company's lack of action on methane emissions, scoring it 8.8 out of 100 in a ranking of 20 meat and dairy companies. The letter demands disclosure of investments in methane abatement and alternative proteins and recommends setting absolute methane reduction targets aligned with a 1.5°C limit.

• An analysis of 20 major meat and dairy companies found that none report methane emissions separately and none have concrete targets or action plans to reduce methane emissions in their operations and supply chains.
• FrieslandCampina received a score of 8.8 out of 100 in the ranking, indicating a lack of action toward reducing methane emissions and a failure to set specific commitments or report methane-specific emissions.
• While FrieslandCampina has made minor investments in protein alternatives and technical methane abatement research, it does not disclose what percentage of its revenue these investments represent.
