Baking for better Climate

Contributing to a sustainable food system

We want to claim NetZero in 2050, but what is even more interesting is the mid-term target we have set to cut emissions from our bakeries and transport by 50% in 2030, also known as scope 1 and 2. It is not an easy job we have set out to do. However, we believe it is doable when we collaborate across our entire business.

Unibake has an annual footprint of 800,000 tons CO2e.

It’s interesting that 89% of these total emissions derive from scope 3 - emissions that we do not control - and that the raw materials we use in our products (flour, seeds, butter, palm oil, vegetable oils, eggs and so forth) count for no less than 62% of those emissions.

Of this, flour alone stands for 23% - a footprint that is hard for us to change because it starts outside of our business – in the field. Over the past years our good colleagues in Lantmännen have gained strong experience with climate friendlier solutions which provide us with a unique opportunity to influence the flour footprint in our bakeries.

This is an example of how we strongly benefit from the Field to Fork value chain that we are part of.

Our Climate Commitments

Unibake’s has set its climate ambition to become CO2e Net Zero no later than by 2050

These are the targets we pursue to get there:

  • Reduce absolute Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 50% (base year: 2019)
  • Suppliers causing 2/3 of our Scope 3 emission are committed to SBT EO 2027
  • 30% Scope 3 emission reduction with a 67% coverage (base year: 2019)
