Segment ranking summary

B&G Foods ranks 158th when compared to its peers in the food and beverage manufacturers/processors segment, thus sitting in the bottom half of the ranking. While the company demonstrates an average performance in the social inclusion dimension thanks to its policies, it lags behind its segment peers in both the environment and nutrition dimensions. The company has an opportunity to formulate commitments regarding key topics such as greenhouses gas emissions reduction, water use, food loss and waste, availability of healthy foods and transparent labelling. Unlike most of its segment peers, B&G Food discloses evidence regarding neither a sustainability strategy nor stakeholder engagement activities.
