We aim to be aligned with global climate ambitions as we continue to support agriculture’s vital role in feeding a growing world, while also addressing the agrifood system’s climate-related impacts and risks. Our sustainability framework is built on near-term, verifiable reductions as the basis for long-term success, creating a disciplined path toward meaningful climate action.

We support transparency and measurable impact on emission reductions we directly control (Scope 1 and Scope 2), with time-bound goals, operational KPIs, and independent assurance audits. By prioritizing the production efficiency of our suppliers, we can strengthen producer success and supply chain resilience while also decreasing Scope 3 emissions intensity. This allows us to address real risk drivers, satisfy customer and investor expectations, and protect long-term access to affordable food.

Our climate change reduction goals serve as our foundation for impact. However, our success toward these goals will require collaboration and alignment, as well as resources and efforts by experts, customers, governments, and partners throughout our supply chain. As new opportunities arise, we expect to build upon this foundation across the globe to expand our ambitions and accelerate progress further.

In 2021, Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation (“PPC”) adopted a Sustainability-Linked Bond (“SLB”) Framework, identifying greenhouse gas emissions intensity reduction as a key strategic priority. Under the framework, PPC established a target to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions intensity by 30% by the end of 2030, using 2019 as the baseline year and subject to certain exclusions related to significant acquisitions and changes in laws and regulations. An interim performance target of 17.679% was established for December 31, 2025, based on linear annual improvements from the baseline. In 2025, PPC exceeded its interim target, achieving a 24.4% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions intensity compared to the 2019 baseline.

We measure, monitor, and report direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scopes 2 and 3) GHG emissions in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e), voluntarily disclosing data to regional regulatory frameworks and other platforms. Our GHG emissions are calculated using internationally recognized standards, including the World Resources Institute’s and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development’s The Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition; GHG Protocol), supplemented by internal criteria established by Pilgrim’s. For more information about our GHG accounting methodology please see the Appendices.

Pilgrim’s has obtained third-party limited assurance for its global Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG inventories from 2019 to 2025, and global Scope 3 GHG inventories for 2021 and 2025 (via JBS N.V.). We will continue to seek annual assurances for our emissions, reinforcing our dedication to accountability and continuous improvement. KPMG’s Independent Limited Assurance Report of our 2025 GHG inventory is available on our website.

*Does not include emissions associated with land use change as those calculations are currently being improved

NC = Not calculated. In alignment with GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard, we have conducted a full Scope 3 inventory no less than every three years and plan to disclose annually in the future.
