Problem
Food and beverage companies face increasing pressure to understand and reduce the environmental impact of their products, yet accurately calculating carbon footprints across complex supply chains is challenging and time-consuming. Existing methods often require specialized expertise and manual data collection, making it difficult for businesses to track and manage their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions effectively.
Solution
CarbonTag offers a software platform that automates product carbon footprint (PCF) calculations for food and beverage companies. The platform analyzes the life cycle of products, from raw material sourcing to production and distribution, to determine associated carbon emissions. By providing a breakdown of emissions by ingredient and production step, CarbonTag helps companies identify emission hotspots and opportunities for reduction. The platform also offers benchmarking capabilities, enabling businesses to compare the environmental impact of their products against industry averages and highlight sustainability improvements with a consumer-facing, color-coded label.
Target Audience
CarbonTag primarily targets food and beverage companies seeking to measure, manage, and communicate the carbon footprint of their products to consumers and stakeholders.
