“While most drinks companies reference #water stewardship in their #sustainability reports, their understanding of water stewardship is often limited to ‘improving #manufacturing water use’. For example, very few companies report on water scarcity at the #watershed level and even fewer report on water #quality." - João Brites, Director of Growth & Innovation at HowGood, on the issues presented by companies not taking into account the water used in #agriculture to grow the #ingredients that go into drinks https://lnkd.in/ekzKcfNA

We need to do a better job on water-related risks! I just had the pleasure of contributing to the new article from David Burrows at Just Drinks: "Drinks giants face #water pressure". My two messages: 💧 We need a better definition for water stewardship. While most drinks companies reference water stewardship in their reports, their understanding of water stewardship is often limited to ‘improving manufacturing water use". This definition is problematic for two reason. First, it ignores the water used in agriculture to grow the ingredients that go into the drinks (on average more than 95% of the water used in a typical beer comes from agriculture and less than 5% from manufacturing). Second, it ignores the context in which the water withdrawal took place – the watershed – and its ability to serve the water quality and availability needs of communities and other stakeholders. 🔗 Climate and water risk are inextricably linked: The #AmazonRiverBasin is facing its worst drought in more than 40 years and this is fuelling wildfires that are releasing huge amounts of greenhouse gases and reducing rainfall, which leads to extended droughts.

“Granular, real-time data on the #carbon impact of no-tillage, fertilizer use and other on-farm practices helps pinpoint areas where efficient #reduction can be improved. Farm-level data improves accuracy around Product and Corporate Carbon Footprints for internal decision-making and direct customer #reporting.” - Nina DePalma, VP of Product at HowGood, on how #FieldScope is helping #retailers and #ingredient #suppliers provide instant calculations on how #agricultural practices affect their #emissions https://lnkd.in/eaQb_5Kn

🌎🌾 FoodTech 500 alum's new tool helps manufacturers accurately report their environmental impact. US-based sustainability intelligence platform HowGood has introduced FieldScope, a new tool to help food companies measure and report the environmental impact of farming practices. The platform bridges the gap between agricultural methods and corporate sustainability reporting, providing instant calculations for practices like no-till farming and fertilizer use. With FieldScope, companies can: 👉 Identify reduction opportunities and work with suppliers on targeted improvements 👉 Accurately calculate product and corporate carbon footprints 👉 Account for regenerative practices and carbon removals With food systems contributing 34% of global greenhouse gas emissions, solutions like this are key to real change. HowGood aims to make FieldScope widely accessible to set a new industry standard in environmental reporting.

Carbon footprinting at the corporate and product level has become table-stakes for enterprise #food and #beverage companies. But in the emerging industry of carbon accounting, there are still questions about “standardized” methodologies and best practices for future-proofed carbon calculation. Carbon footprinting - if done well - can set you up for efficient #supplychain #decarbonization, market differentiation, and streamlined reporting. Join The Carbon Trust and HowGood in a lively discussion about overcoming the challenges and restraints to carbon accounting and capturing the upside of third-party verified #Product #Carbon #Footprints. From support on building internal buy-in to resources for scaling your footprinting efforts, you will leave with concrete next steps to bring to your organization.

“#FieldScope has the potential to change the way we understand #corporate #sustainability. By reflecting the impact of on-#farm practices in company-level #emissions #reporting, FieldScope reveals the true #ROI of investing in #regenerative #agriculture practices – all visualized in real time. It removes silos, enables agile insights, and allows companies to work more directly with their #supplychain partners on meaningful impact reduction.” - Nina DePalma, VP of Product at HowGood, on the product launch of FieldScope in HowGood's sustainability intelligence platform https://lnkd.in/eScPnSAt

The rise of global #sustainability reporting frameworks such as #CSRD, #SBTi and #CDP has required #food companies to provide an unprecedented level of granularity in their corporate #emissions reports. With this scrutiny has come an increased demand for companies to not only accurately #measure their impact, but also demonstrate progress toward #reduction. Leaders across the food industry have risen to the opportunity. With thousands of new #regenerative #agriculture pilots and heavy investments in improved agricultural practices, they are indeed making progress toward #decarbonizing #supplychains. But quantifying the impact of these on-farm practices––and scaling that to the corporate reporting level––is particularly difficult. With #FieldScope, HowGood is answering the demands of innovative food and beverage companies to quantify, communicate, and capture credit for their on-farm agricultural initiatives. Learn more about our latest product offering and schedule a consultation here: https://lnkd.in/e8SDwVtr
