TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (NYSE: THS) today released its 2025 Sustainability Report, which captures progress made during 2024 toward the Company's 2030 Sustainability Goals.
A leading private brands snacking and beverage manufacturer in North America, the Company understands the significant role it plays in thousands of supply chains. The Company's sustainability work is integrated throughout its value chain, from supplier engagement on responsible sourcing, to finding efficiencies in its own operations, to partnering with customers on sustainability efforts.
In the report, the Company highlights a focus on improving resource efficiency, with continued resources dedicated to meeting its targeted 25% Scope 1 + 2 greenhouse gas (“GHG”) reduction by the end of 2030. As of the end of 2024, the Company had achieved a 6.6% reduction in Scope 1 + 2 emissions from the 2022 baseline.
“We are committed to continuing to improve resource efficiency on the pathway to achieving our 2030 reduction goal,” said Steve Oakland, Chairman, CEO and President. “As is our practice, we will continue to communicate transparently with stakeholders on our emissions reduction activities, including progress within our operations throughout North America, and our global supply chain.”
The Company is also sharpening its focus on Culture and Engagement as pillars of its people strategy. “We are intent on fostering a culture that welcomes diverse perspectives, encourages open dialogue, and ensures all team members feel respected, supported and empowered to be themselves,” said Oakland.
