OUR CARBON
STORY.
An honest look at what goes into every loaf we bake — and what we're doing to make it better.
ACME INC
Sustainability Report 2025
Every loaf tells a story. The flour that goes into it, the energy that bakes it, the hands that shape it, and the miles it travels to reach you. Here's the full picture — the good, the challenging, and what we're doing next.
WHY WE'RE
DOING THIS.
We started measuring our environmental impact because we believe every business has a responsibility to understand what it takes to create what they make.
This report isn't about being perfect — it's about being honest. We want you to see the full story: the flour we source, the energy we use, the waste we create, and the steps we're taking to do better. Transparency matters. Whether you're a customer, a partner, or just curious, you deserve to know what goes into every product we bake.
2025 At A Glance
WHERE OUR IMPACT
COMES FROM.
Four things account for nearly everything. Understanding the concentration of our footprint allows us to focus our reduction efforts where they matter most.
Production
Scope 33,101.0 kg CO2e
Emissions from raw materials and ingredients used in production.
Energy
Scope 2116.3 kg CO2e
We use 100% renewable energy to power our operations.
Transport
Scope 335.4 kg CO2e
Emissions from transportation of materials and products.
Packaging
Scope 314.3 kg CO2e
Emissions from packaging materials production and disposal.
SUSTAINABLE
ENERGY.
Baking takes power. We've ensured that 100% of our electricity comes from local wind and solar cooperatives.
100% Certified Green Energy
Grid Neutrality Verified
LOCAL ROOTS.
We source 84% of our ingredients within a 25km radius. This drastically reduces transport emissions and supports the local circular economy.
