Carbon Footprinting for Suppliers in the Food Industry

Industrial companies are increasingly responsible for meeting their sustainability goals across the entire value chain. In the food sector, raw material production – especially agriculture – plays a key role in a company's climate impact. With effective carbon footprinting, you create transparency and gain insight into the carbon emissions of the agricultural products you purchase.
