Tate & Lyle PLC

Tate & Lyle targets a 30% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2019 baseline, a 23% cut in Scope 3 FLAG emissions by 2028, net-zero by 2050, and 100% renewable electricity by 2030, consistent with SBTi 1.5°C benchmarks and peer leaders in food ingredients. These goals will be advanced through $162 million in initiatives including global renewable PPAs delivering 85,000 mtCO2e/year reductions, regenerative agriculture carbon insetting with Cargill and Primient yielding 120,000 mtCO2e/year, electrified heat systems at sites like Lille Skensved for 95,000 mtCO2e/year, plus circular packaging and logistics optimization, all verified via SustainCert and aligned with zero-deforestation pledges by 2025. Carbon insetting specifically converts sustainability from a cost centre into a revenue stream by generating $15 million in returns over five years from a $22 million investment, alongside $10 million in projected carbon credit sales and $53 million in annual efficiency savings. Combined with $200 million in green financing access and $80 million total ROI over 3-5 years, these measures strengthen ESG ratings and reputational leadership while mitigating supply-chain and regulatory risks.
