„Super-Emittenten“ der Fleisch- und Milchwirtschaft in Deutschland
www.germanwatch.org
In Deutschland trägt die Tierhaltung zu 5,3 % aller THG-Emissionen und zu 68,1 % der THG-Emissionen aus der Landwirtschaft bei. Eine maßgebliche Rolle spielt hierbei die Fleisch- und Milchindustrie. Mit der vorliegenden Studie liefern wir erstmals eine Berechnung der THG-Emissionen der jeweils zehn umsatzstärksten Schlacht- und Milchkonzerne in Deutschland und erörtern dabei auch ihre generellen klimabezogenen Verpflichtungen.

Auto-translation:

Study on their greenhouse gas emissions and climate commitments

With this study, we are providing for the first time a calculation of the GHG emissions from the ten surveyed slaughter and dairy companies in Germany, including discussing their general climate-related obligations – such as those from sustainability reporting in the course of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

We show, among other things, that the emissions of the ten most selling slaughter companies and the ten highest-grossing dairy companies in 2022 corresponded to around 61% of the emissions cast in Germany in Germany in the same year. If the opportunity costs are taken into account in the calculation, then the issues of the companies will even increase to 1.5 times the passenger car emissions.

We also take a closer look at previous climate protection-related self-discreet data from the two market leaders, Tönnies and DMK Deutsches Milchkontor, and we also come to the conclusion that these two companies in particular still have to improve significantly in terms of completeness, transparency and coherence.
