In 2024, Local Bounti reported total carbon emissions of approximately 5,683,860 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 366,300 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This marks a significant increase in emissions compared to 2023, where they recorded approximately 241,425 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 89,612 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The company has shown a commitment to transparency in its emissions reporting, disclosing data for Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions in 2024, while also providing comprehensive figures for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions in previous years. However, there are currently no documented reduction targets or climate pledges in place, indicating a potential area for future development in their sustainability strategy. Local Bounti's emissions data reflects the challenges faced by the industry in managing carbon footprints, particularly as they scale operations. The absence of specific reduction initiatives suggests that the company may need to establish clearer climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations.
