Tyson Foods To Achieve Net-Zero Emissions By 2050

Tyson Foods set a goal on Wednesday to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions globally by 2050, after missing a deadline to improve US farming practices as part of an earlier effort to cut emissions.

The new target by the biggest US meatpacker by sales expands a previous goal of reducing emissions by 30% by 2030.

To achieve net-zero emissions, Tyson said it will plan for US operations to use 50% renewable energy by 2030 and extend a programme to verify sustainable production practices for cattle, among other steps.
