“Two suppliers can footprint the same ingredient and get very different results, depending on which data they choose and which consultant they hire.

It makes comparisons ‘apples-to-apples’ and keeps anyone from cherry-picking the data that tells their story best. Without that, the decisions that actually reduce emissions can’t happen.”

- Ethan Soloviev, Chief Innovation Officer at HowGood, on why a common standard for product footprinting is needed, and how a food-specific methodology built on existing standards could close that gap

F&B companies face growing difficulty in comparing product emissions as suppliers rely on different footprinting methods and databases.

"What's interesting is how little we heard about AI this year. Nobody think technology will solve this for us; it's a tool, and the real work is people on farms and leaders in the industry agreeing on what gets measured and rewarded. Convergence happens when you put farmers and buyers in the same room around actual contracts, and when data is good enough that insurers and lenders can price risk at the field level instead of the county level."

- Ethan Soloviev, Chief Innovation Officer at HowGood, in AgNavigator

At Climate Week NYC, the focus in agriculture shifted from broad sustainability ambitions to actionable, scalable solutions, with greater emphasis on who pays for farm transitions, how outcomes are measured, and how commercial value is realized. Industry leaders observed that corporate investment is...

Don't miss our webinar with Danone tomorrow at 10am EST to get an in-depth discussion on how to build a cohesive and collaborative approach to scope 3 reduction. We’ll walk through how (and when) to strengthen data quality, engage suppliers in ways that support long-term collaboration, and incorporate supplier-level initiatives into your emissions forecasts and corporate climate targets.

​You’ll walk away with:
​ ✔️ A roadmap for better Scope 3 data — from averages to supplier-verified emissions factors.
​ ✔️ A stronger supplier engagement strategy — building two-way relationships that lead to long-term collaboration
​ ✔️ A way to quantify planned action — translating supplier initiatives into forecasted emissions reduction and corporate climate targets

How do food companies move from estimated emissions baselines to a credible, data-driven pathway?

​For teams working to turn Scope 3 targets into a clearly-defined reduction strategy, the challenge is no longer simply calculating emissions. Instead, it’s building the , relationships, and forecasting capabilities needed to develop a credible plan. That means moving beyond averages to more granular, supplier-verified data; creating meaningful feedback loops with suppliers; and translating planned initiatives into forecasts that reflect the realities of your supply chain.

​Join HowGood and Danone on Tuesday, October 6th for an in-depth discussion on how to build a cohesive and collaborative approach to scope 3 reduction. We’ll walk through how (and when) to strengthen data quality, engage suppliers in ways that support long-term collaboration, and incorporate supplier-level initiatives into your emissions forecasts and corporate climate targets. ​We’ll also hear from Danone on the creation of the Danone Impact Journey, and how they’ve used this approach to advance progress against their climate targets.

Agricultural GHG quantification underpins some of the sector's most pressing challenges, including Scope 3 reporting, data sharing, book-and-claim mechanisms and farmer incentive schemes.

SAI platform's latest white paper looks at the different methodologies, quantification approaches and systems boundaries behind these solutions and highlights that there is no one-size fits all approach to measuring GHG agricultural emissions and removals.

We're excited to enable food and beverage companies to leverage Satelligence's Land Use Change (dLUC and jdLUC) data directly within HowGood’s platform to access higher-quality emission factors, enhance supplier risk profiling, and power data-driven climate action.

More information on our partnership here:

Land use change (LUC) is a major driver of Scope 3 emissions, but current reliance on coarse national averages often leads to imprecise footprints and misaligned investments. HowGood and Satelligence are partnering to embed spatially explicit direct and jurisdictional direct Land Use Change (dLUC an...

"This is where near-zero comes in.

Companies that have realized that net-zero targets may be more difficult to achieve than initially anticipated are rethinking their approaches to better set themselves up for success toward net-zero targets. Near-zero targets require them to cut down to the lowest realistic level, with stringent guardrails ensuring real operational change is happening, companies aren’t buying verified progress, and that they’ve made significant enough progress to neutralize remaining emissions."

- Cate Battey, Director of Growth & Innovation at HowGood, in Food Logistics

Near-zero targets require companies to cut down emissions to the lowest realistic level.
