svgThe issue
Climate change is reshaping the food industry

The global food system accounts for approximately one-third of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). In the EU, food is the leading consumption-driven contributor to climate change, accounting for 38% of all anthropogenic GHG emissions.

Even if fossil fuel emissions were halted immediately, current food system trends would still prevent achieving the 1.5°C climate target and jeopardise the 2°C target.

The pressure of climate change on public health, the environment, and the food sector industry is already evident and projected to intensify in the coming years. Worsening heat stress, volatile weather conditions, and forthcoming climate legislation and policies will drive up costs in the food industry, particularly for animal-based products.

Addressing these challenges and reducing GHG emissions is a crucial strategy for food companies to enhance their market position.

svgOur Offer
Turn climate action into a strategic advantage

Companies in the food industry must address their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions not only to mitigate risks but also to strengthen their market position. These can be achieved by strategic work on protein diversification and increasing plant-based protein sourcing.

Food sector companies have a unique opportunity to become the driving force for decarbonising the food system while enabling their customers to make easier and tastier purchases aligned with their environmental values.

Reducing emissions can provide a competitive advantage across various areas when approached correctly. The growing interest in flexitarianism and the expansion of the plant-based market revealed the potential of a protein diversification strategy. By adopting this approach embraced by many responsible businesses worldwide companies can significantly lower their Scope 3 emissions while capitalising on the opportunities arising from the evolving food sector.
