Robust emissions data for food carbon calculations

My Emissions has developed a data-driven life cycle assessment approach to instantly calculate the carbon emissions of a food product or meal.

Our food emissions database covers all emissions from farm-to-store, including packaging and transport. This is also the system boundary of our product assessments and corresponding carbon label.

Accurately report your Scope 3 emissions from food

The majority of carbon emissions from food comes from farming, including agriculture and land-use change. As a result, purchased food represents the bulk of emissions for most food companies. Accurately reporting your scope 3 emissions is crucial for reducing your carbon footprint and achieving Net-Zero.

With our purchase reports, you can accurately measure your Scope 3 emissions related to food and packaging. We utilise activity-based data to improve data quality. The data aligns with the GHG Protocol’s Category 1 – Purchased Goods and Services, so can feed directly into your carbon accounting.
