By December 31, 2025, CBC’s Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions totaled 47,346.89 tCO₂e, representing a 49.81% reduction compared to the 2019 baseline.
CBC’s GHG emissions data underwent independent verification by Ernst & Young in accordance with the ISAE 3410 standard for greenhouse gas statements and the GHG Protocol. Progress updates will continue to be disclosed through CBC’s annual sustainability reports.

REDUCTION OF ABSOLUTE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
In March 2024, CBC’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets were formally validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Technical Committee as follows:
By 2030, CBC aims to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 48%, in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) criteria and the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
By December 31, 2025, CBC’s Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions totaled 47,346.89 tCO₂e, representing a 49.81% reduction compared to the 2019 baseline.

RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES
One of CBC’s key strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions is ensuring the use of renewable energy sources across its operations.
CBC sources electricity from providers that generate power from renewable sources and also purchases International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-RECs), which verify that the electricity consumed originates from clean energy sources.
By the end of 2025, 100% of the electricity used in our production plants, distribution centers, and agencies came from renewable sources, significantly contributing to the reduction of our Scope 2 GHG emissions.
Regarding our administrative offices, 85.55% of the electricity consumed came from renewable sources. This electricity consumption represents only 0.10% of CBC’s total energy consumption.

ZERO WASTE TO LANDFILL CERTIFICATION OF PRODUCTION PLANTS
CBC’s goal is to ensure that all 16 production plants achieve and maintain Zero Waste to Landfill certification by 2030.
As of December 2025, the following plants had achieved certification under the Zero Waste to Landfill standard:
- Mariposa and Cuyotenango, Guatemala
- Guayaquil, Machachi, Milagro and Machala, Ecuador
- Huachipa and Sullana, Peru
- Livsmart, El Salvador
- La Reyna, Honduras
In 2025, 93.14% of CBC’s operational waste was managed in accordance with the Zero Waste to Landfill standard. By 2030, 100% of CBC’s production plants are expected to achieve this certification.
To accelerate progress toward compliance with the Zero Waste to Landfill standard, CBC prioritized the certification of plants generating the highest volumes of solid waste, maximizing the environmental impact of this initiative.
In mid-2024, Carbon Trust discontinued its Zero Waste to Landfill Certification program as part of a strategic shift toward Net Zero initiatives. As a result, and in line with the Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework, CBC transitioned the certification process to SGS to ensure the continuity and independent verification of the program under the same high standards.
