Diverse ingredients, changing recipes and long value chains make food carbon management challenging
Complex upstream ingredients limit visibility of primary carbon data
Food products draw on agricultural and livestock inputs, ingredients and packaging from different regions, production systems and suppliers. Obtaining and tracing primary data, supplier PCFs and suitable background data directly affects footprint results.
Diverse recipes change carbon performance as the business evolves
SKUs can differ substantially in ingredients, proportions, suppliers and processing. Ingredient substitution and recipe changes affect footprints, while one-off calculations cannot support continuous management across many products and recipes.
Concentrated processing and refrigeration energy makes priorities hard to identify
Steam, heating, refrigeration, processing and cleaning create different energy demands across products and routes. Production and energy data need to be connected to identify priority emission sources accurately.
Long supply chains require ongoing carbon data coordination
Carbon data span ingredient suppliers, food processors, packaging, storage and logistics. Growing brand, retailer and customer interest in footprints, Scope 3 and reduction progress calls for reliable, long-term collaboration.
