These targets adopt the new Forestry, Land use and Agriculture (FLAG) standards from the SBTi. Premier Foods says this demonstrates the importance they continue to place on science-driven measurement and detailed disclosure of greenhouse gas emissions to drive actions to better address global climate change.
Nick Brown, director of ESG at Premier Foods, said: “The reassurance and credibility of this scheme has provided a mobilising force for our teams and has helped us to reduce our scope 1 & 2 (market based) emissions by 30% since 2020 and our scope 3 emissions by 25% over the same period.“
The new long-term targets for scopes 1, 2 and 3 are all aligned with the ambition to limit climate change to 1.5 degrees in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. The detailed targets can be found at https://www.premierfoods.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/PREMIE1.pdf.
