Greenhouse Gas

Our Approach & Goals

Thai Union is taking bold climate action with science-based targets: cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions 42% by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050. We plan on phasing out coal by 2030, scaling clean energy, tracking GHG at the process level, and training teams to embed a low-carbon mindset across our global operations.

Our Progress


210%
Reduction in GHG emissions from the 2021 baseline.
70%
Reduction in GHG emission between 2023–2024.

Our Success Cases

In 2024, Thai Union cut GHG emissions by optimizing steam systems and increasing solar energy.

Food Loss

Our Approach & Goals
 
Thai Union maximizes the value of every edible input by reducing food loss across production and eliminating waste sent to landfill by 2030. We track losses, invest in R&D, and partner with stakeholders to expand zero-waste initiatives. By repurposing seafood for human food, animal feed, bioenergy, and pet food, we advance circular practices and resource efficiency under SeaChange® 2030.

Our Progress


99.30.0%
Food loss diverted from landfills.
30/5
Number of key factories that have achieved zero food loss status.

Food Loss

Thai Union is committed to reducing food loss across all stages of production and eliminating food waste sent to landfill. Our approach focuses on maximizing the value of every edible input, particularly seafood raw materials, while minimizing losses during handling, processing, and storage.
