Strategic Report
• Acquisitions: following the acquisitions
of MOMA and Boost in 2022, we have
recalculated our emissions to produce the
most accurate reflection of AG Barr’s footprint
at the Group level. This follows the operational
control approach for our environmental
reporting and ensures consistent target setting
across the Group.
• FLAG emissions: we use certain natural
materials in our products, from our ingredients
to packaging, and we are monitoring and
setting targets based on our Forest, Land,
and Agriculture (FLAG) emissions. The earliest
complete year of data we have for these
emissions is 2023.
• COVID-19: as for many businesses, our
previous 2020 baseline data was impacted
by the COVID-19 pandemic and therefore
unrepresentative of our typical emissions
production. In order to fully understand the
success of our net zero strategy going forward,
we need to compare future emissions data to
a representative start point.
Carbon reduction
98.77%
We are procuring REGO backed
renewable electricity across all
our operational sites, reducing
Scope 2 market-based emissions by
4,630 tCO2e (98.77%) in comparison
to location-based emissions.
A detailed breakdown of our 2023/24
greenhouse gas emissions is contained within the
Metrics and Targets section of our TCFD and CFD
disclosures on pages 39 to 46. These disclosures
also contain our Streamlined Energy Carbon
Reporting (SECR) report which sets out our
Scope 1 and 2 data for the 2024/25 financial year.

Our 2023/24 greenhouse gas emissions
The additions of MOMA and Boost to our Group
in 2022 resulted in an increase in our total carbon
footprint. However, our carbon emissions across
our operations (Scope 1&2) for 2023/24 reduced
by 25% compared to our baseline year (2020/21)
despite the underlying business increasing sales
volumes. The percentage decreases over time
are included in our Non-Financial KPIs on page
21. We delivered a number of positive carbon
reduction initiatives across the year, including
plastic lightweighting and an increase in our
overall use of recycled plastic across our
packaging.

We remain fully committed to achieving our
science-based targets. For our Scope 1 and 2
emissions we have a deliverable and realistic
net-zero roadmap. This roadmap builds on the
progress we have already made and extends
into future initiatives, including moving to
biogenic carbon dioxide, air source heat
pumps and other degasification projects.

For our Scope 3 targets, including purchased
goods and services as well as upstream and
downstream transport and distribution, we
are working closely with our key suppliers
and partners to reduce emissions.
