Teams managing climate in the food sector
Food and beverage companies rely on agricultural value chains that are increasingly exposed to climate risk, reporting pressure and margin pressure. Credible targets, better data and stronger resilience are now business priorities.
Scope 3 accounts for roughly 88% of F&B emissions. Most comes from on-farm and other land use where primary data is hardest to capture, leading to:
EUDR, CSRD and SBTi FLAG each bring distinct data demands and timelines. Treating them separately makes the process harder than it needs to be, creating:
Drought reduced global cocoa production by 14% in 2023–24. Coffee prices rose 55%. Lack of resilience planning for such events can lead to:
Nearly 80% of investors see ESG as critical, yet orgs struggle to link sustainability to financial value clearly enough to win internal support.This means:
