Industry context

Every product has a different environmental footprint. Depending on its raw materials, manufacturing processes and supply chain, the main impacts may arise from agriculture, processing, energy use, refrigeration, packaging or logistics. Without a Life Cycle Assessment, it is impossible to determine with confidence where the greatest opportunities for improvement and impact reduction lie. At the same time, customers, retailers and international markets increasingly demand reliable information on carbon footprint, packaging, traceability and environmental performance, making environmental data a key asset for remaining competitive and accessing more demanding markets.

Pressures

What usually triggers the need

In order of priority, the pressures that lead this industry to look for environmental evidence

  1. 01

    Supply chains

    Customers and retailers requiring environmental data up and down the chain.

  2. 02

    Packaging and logistics

    Packaging and transport weigh on footprint and on purchasing decisions.

  3. 03

    Water, energy and waste

    Cost and regulation around resource use and waste management.

Outcomes

What this industry needs to achieve

  • Improve customer responseAnswer audits and sustainability questionnaires with ready evidence.
  • Prioritize reductionsFocus investment where environmental and cost impact is greatest.
  • Support claimsBack product claims with LCA and audit-ready data.

Sector keys

What you should keep in mind

The standards, requirements and buyer demands that now set the environmental agenda for this sector

  • Packaging rules (PPWR)

    The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation requires all packaging to be recyclable, sets minimum recycled content and bans PFAS in food-contact packaging; it starts applying in August 2026.

  • Product footprint & EPD

    Buyers request product carbon footprints (ISO 14067) and Environmental Product Declarations (ISO 14025), both built on an ISO 14040/44 LCA.

  • Customer questionnaires

    Supermarkets and major brands assess suppliers through EcoVadis, CDP and Sedex/SMETA audits, and increasingly ask for primary rather than average data.

  • Cold chain & refrigerants

    Refrigerant leakage and cooling energy are concentrated emissions hotspots; measuring them usually opens the most cost-effective reduction path.
