“Today more than ever, it is necessary to act on a global level to
deal with the impacts of climate change. To that end, Marmon Foodservice
Technologies is committed to becoming part of the solution through our
products and processes,” said Craig Heetland, Group President, Marmon
Foodservice Technologies. “Our validated near-term science-based targets
provide a defined pathway to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2033
and we are also committed to be net zero by 2050.”
More specifically, Marmon Foodservice Technologies commits to reduce
its absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 54.6% by 2033 from a 2021
baseline year.* Marmon Foodservice Technologies further commits to
reduce its absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from its purchased goods and
services and use of sold products by 32.5% within the same timeframe. *The target boundary includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks.
These science-based targets are in line with what the latest climate
science deems necessary to meet the goal of the Paris Agreement of
limiting global warming to 1.5oC above pre-industrial levels
and provide a clearly defined pathway to reduce GHG emissions in order
to help prevent the climate change impacts while future-proofing our
activities.
Marmon Foodservice Technologies is one of the 11 industry groups that
make up Marmon Holdings, Inc., a Berkshire Hathaway company, and the
first to have its near-term targets validated.
“Across Marmon’s portfolio of companies, we are focused on operating
sustainably to help meet the goals of our customers and enhance the
communities in which we operate,” said Martha Drouet-Rueden, Senior
Counsel and Sustainability Officer for Marmon Holdings.
“Marmon
Foodservice Technologies is paving the way for additional Marmon
businesses to follow in their footsteps and strengthen our collective
sustainability commitments.”
