The 2030 environmental goals outlined in the report include achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions for direct operations; purchasing or producing 100% zero carbon electricity for all direct operations; serving 100% environmentally responsible seafood at U.S. parks and resorts; among others. The company says its approach to environmental sustainability is grounded in science and an assessment of where the Company’s operations have the most significant impact on the environment, as well as the areas where it can most effectively mitigate that impact.
