Burger King, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and Cargill Join Together to Help Conserve and Restore Grasslands and Wildlife Species Through Regenerative Agriculture Practices in the Southern Great Plains - Seite 3

This Southern Great Plains initiative exemplifies the actions Burger King parent company Restaurant Brands International is taking to meet its Science Based Targets initiative approved goal to reduce Scope 3 emissions intensity by 50% per metric ton of food, as well as support achieving its overall goal of being net-zero emissions by 2050, compared to a 2019 baseline. Through projects like this and other actions, Restaurant Brands International expects to prevent an estimated 25.4 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e) from being released into the atmosphere by 2030, as compared to a business as usual scenario. This is the equivalent of taking 5.5. million passenger cars off the road for an entire year.²
