For food companies, the need for a CCF is especially pressing due to the unique challenges and high emissions associated with the industry. Here’s why a CCF is a powerful tool:

  • Complex Emissions Profile: food companies typically have significant emissions tied to Scope 3 activities (often over 70%) such as farming, processing, packaging of your purchased foods and drinks—making it critical to understand indirect emissions

  • Meeting Regulatory Demands: with increasing regulations like SECR and CSRD, food companies face more scrutiny around environmental reporting. A well-documented CCF ensures compliance and strengthens your position in a regulated market.

  • Transparency and Stakeholder Confidence: stakeholders, from consumers to investors, increasingly expect transparent reporting. A CCF demonstrates your commitment to environmental accountability, strengthening brand trust and reputation.

  • Strategic Emissions Reduction: identifying high-impact areas through a CCF allows you to set realistic targets, focus on the most impactful actions (like sustainable sourcing or waste reduction), and track measurable improvements over time.
