Global supermarkets still failing on methane action, report finds

Major global retailers remain far behind on methane reduction and disclosure despite livestock emissions dominating food supply chains.

Global supermarket giants are still failing to take meaningful action on methane emissions linked to meat and dairy supply chains, according to a new report from the Changing Markets Foundation and Mighty Earth.

The report, Shelved Again: Supermarkets’ Missing Action on Methane, assessed 20 leading food retailers across six countries and found that none have set methane reduction targets, while methane emissions remain largely undisclosed across the sector.

Together generating an estimated $2 trillion in annual revenue – comparable to the GDP of Brazil – these companies remain far off track on methane action.
