Meat and dairy industry commitments and actions to address methane emissions

The Changing Markets Foundation and partner organisations inform NH Foods Ltd that it scored 7.2 out of 100 in a ranking of meat and dairy companies' climate policies, citing a lack of specific methane reduction targets or separate emissions reporting. The authors demand disclosure of investments in methane abatement and alternative proteins over the last five years and recommend that the company set absolute methane reduction targets aligned with a 1.5°C global heating 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.
• NH Foods Group received a score of 7.2 out of 100 in the ranking, reflecting a lack of action on methane emissions and a failure to set specific commitments or report methane-specific emissions for its supply chains and operations.
• While NH Foods Group has invested in alternative proteins and technical methane abatement research, it does not disclose the percentage of revenue these investments represent.
