The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) was set up in 2000. It represents a coalition of global investors who together have more than $31.5 trillion in assets. Through the CDP, these investors collectively request the world's largest companies to disclose information on the greenhouse gas emissions they produce. CDP has historically sent this request for information to the FT500 largest companies in the world. In 2006, however, in its fourth round of information-requests, the CDP has expanded its reach to 2,180 companies, over 950 of whom have responded with an answered questionnaire. In the PDF you will find information on the world's largest food and drink manufacturers - see pages 94-97 inclusive as well as on all the other major sectors. Interestingly, Coca-Cola is, by orders of magnitude the greatest emitter in the food and drink sector. Pepsi might be too but since it didn't choose to disclose information, it's hard to know. For the details of smaller non-FT 500 companies, search the CDP website.
