They are also committed to fostering connections within their ecosystem and making impactful changes that resonate with their commitment to Net Zero.

Collectiv Food, a company committed to building an efficient and sustainable food supply chain, was faced with the challenge of accurately measuring and reducing its carbon footprint. The company was aware of the importance of sustainability but lacked the necessary tools and expertise to establish their emissions baselines across Scopes 1-3. This was crucial for them to support their Net Zero goal set for 2030. The company needed a robust methodology to measure their company-wide carbon footprint, including direct and energy emissions (Scope 1 & 2) and indirect emissions caused by service providers and services used by the company (Scope 3).

Collectiv Food partnered with Greenly to carry out a complete audit of their carbon emissions. Greenly's robust methodology, which covers scope 1, 2, and 3 analysis, provided the necessary framework for effective action. Greenly's platform, with its smart UI, supported a smooth data collection process and helped in developing insights effortlessly. The partnership also helped engage the Collectiv Food team, making sustainability a shared journey. Following the audit, Collectiv Food developed a three-pillar climate strategy: Measure and reduce, Engage and Connect, and Offsetting with Certified Impact. The company is now working on refining their annual carbon assessments and creating a carbon reduction plan with clear-cut targets. They are also planning to engage in certified GHG offsetting and sequestration projects.

• The partnership with Greenly and the subsequent carbon audit has led to a significant shift in Collectiv Food's approach to sustainability. The company now has a clear understanding of its carbon footprint and the areas where it needs to focus its reduction efforts. The audit has also helped engage the team in the sustainability journey, fostering a shared sense of responsibility and commitment. The company is now better equipped to communicate its sustainability efforts and build bridges within its ecosystem. The clear-cut targets and the commitment to certified GHG offsetting and sequestration projects have set the company on a clear path towards achieving its Net Zero goal by 2030.

• Established a baseline of 5987t CO2e emissions for 2021

• Identified that 91.1% of emissions come from product purchase, 4.3% from freight, and 2.2% from assets

• Determined that their carbon footprint is equivalent to 3400 Paris-New York round trips, the annual emissions of 600 British people, or the amount of CO2 sequestered annually by 540 hectares of forest
