PARIS: Greenhouse gas emissions from Europe's biggest meat and dairy firms continue to increase, according to a new report Monday , which found many firms are polluting"with impunity".
According to the analysis, these companies were responsible for seven per cent of EU emissions in 2018, while the emissions of the top 20 exceed those of the Netherlands. Seven out of the 10 companies that the report tracked over time saw their climate footprint grow between 2016 and 2018. Of the 20 companies analysed, only four report emissions from their entire supply chain, IATP said, even though livestock production accounts for the lion's share of emissions.
