ESG focus in the food and beverage industry
The food and beverage sector is subject to a range of ESG regulations that encompass production and manufacturing, food waste, packaging, supply chain and distribution. Position Green enables industry actors to efficiently collect and report sustainability data from all operations and suppliers and work actively with analysis and follow-up.
At the forefront of the ESG revolution
In the dynamic landscape of the food and beverage industry, ESG challenges have emerged as powerful agents of change. Businesses in this sector face the imperative to address sustainability, social responsibility and ethical governance. From reducing carbon emissions and water usage to ensuring fair labour practices and supply chain transparency, the industry must navigate a complex web of regulations and consumer demands.
Ensuring the data-driven measurement and follow-up of sustainability efforts is essential for regulatory compliance, managing business risks and the trustworthy communication of ESG performance. Position Green blends ESG software and advisory expertise to fuel proactive sustainability measures and embed strategies that improve transparency and impacts.
- Collect reliable, traceable and comparable ESG data from your entire organization and value chain. Identify areas for improvement, such as food waste prevention, and track emissions reductions linked to concrete measures. Communicate sustainable initiatives to stakeholders and consumers in a credible way.
- Implement a software solution that enables flexibility in what emissions data your suppliers report, while also converting all the reported data into different emission values according to GHG Scope 1, 2 and 3, which enhances comparability.
- Streamline ESG reporting and compliance with ready-made templates and structured data collection in line with regulations and standards relevant to the food and beverage industry, e.g. food labelling legislation, GHG Protocol, ESRS, SBTi.
- Develop a coherent ESG strategy that responds to and manages critical risks, and set realistic targets based on data-driven insights from experienced sustainability experts.
- Conduct Human Rights Due Diligence and assess related risks in your own operations and supply chain. Develop policy documents and procedures, conduct assessments to prioritize human rights issues and identify HRDD compliance gaps.
