Food Retailers
The food services sector includes restaurants, cafés, catering providers, and other businesses that prepare and serve food to customers. As sustainability becomes a growing priority, diners are showing increasing interest in understanding the environmental impact of the meals they consume. A 2024 study by the University of Copenhagen found that consumers are actively looking to reduce their environmental footprint and make more informed, conscious dining choices. At TrackCarbon, we help food service providers respond to this demand by measuring and managing environmental impact across four key stressors: land use, freshwater use, water scarcity (weighted by use), and greenhouse gas emissions.
Product + Labelling
Food retailers offer both ‘branded’ and ‘white label products’ to their customers. At TrackCarbon we help retailers to track and measure impact across four environmrntal stressors, and then provide each product with an environmental impact score from A-E. This scoring can be via a label on the packaging of the product or can be accessed via a QR Code.
As a partner of GS1 UK, and QR partner advisory group member, TrackCarbon understands the best practice guidelines for creating GS1 Digital Link QR codes.
Packaging
Easily track the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the packaging of your food products—whether it’s plastic, paper, glass, or compostable materials. Our platform helps you identify which packaging components contribute the most to your carbon footprint, giving you the data needed to make more sustainable choices. From primary packaging to shipping containers, get a clear view of your packaging emissions across the entire product lifecycle.
Transportation and Logistics
Our logistics model tracks the route of your product from farm (primary producer) to point of sale. We provide an impact score for each route which allows you to gain insights into the most environmentally friendly manufacturing sites, and distribution locations. Plus, identify your best performing suppliers.
