Food

Industry context

In food, processing concentrates energy, refrigeration and packaging, yet most of the climate impact still comes from agricultural raw materials (Scope 3). At the same time, retailers demand product-level environmental data and the EU is tightening packaging rules, so the sector faces pressure on the product and on its packaging at once.

Pressures

What usually triggers the need

In order of priority, the pressures that lead this industry to look for environmental evidence

  1. 01

    Supply chains

    Customers and retailers requiring environmental data up and down the chain.

  2. 02

    Packaging and logistics

    Packaging and transport weigh on footprint and on purchasing decisions.

  3. 03

    Water, energy and waste

    Cost and regulation around resource use and waste management.

Outcomes

What this industry needs to achieve

  • Improve customer responseAnswer audits and sustainability questionnaires with ready evidence.
  • Prioritize reductionsFocus investment where environmental and cost impact is greatest.
  • Support claimsBack product claims with LCA and audit-ready data.

Sector keys

What you should keep in mind

The standards, requirements and buyer demands that now set the environmental agenda for this sector

  • Packaging rules (PPWR)

    The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation requires all packaging to be recyclable, sets minimum recycled content and bans PFAS in food-contact packaging; it starts applying in August 2026.

  • Product footprint & EPD

    Buyers request product carbon footprints (ISO 14067) and Environmental Product Declarations (ISO 14025), both built on an ISO 14040/44 LCA.

  • Customer questionnaires

    Supermarkets and major brands assess suppliers through EcoVadis, CDP and Sedex/SMETA audits, and increasingly ask for primary rather than average data.

  • Cold chain & refrigerants

    Refrigerant leakage and cooling energy are concentrated emissions hotspots; measuring them usually opens the most cost-effective reduction path.
