Realizing meaningful decarbonization transformations

Get your emission reduction targets realized, create revenue from it, protect margins and reduce risks

Climate change poses significant business risks, both financial and operational risks such as extreme weather events damaging physical assets, policy changes altering industry dynamics, consumer preferences for purpose-driven companies leading to increased consumer switching. They all disrupt the value chain leading to increased costs and lost revenue.

Your opportunity

Decarbonization represents an opportunity to address those risks and drive value. Decarbonizing your food supply chain will:

  • Enhance innovation & efficiency
  • Increase future shareholder value
  • Build resiliency in supply
  • Improve access to capital
  • Strengthen brand reputation
  • Create new revenue and protect margins

As a result over 1,200 global companies have set emission reduction targets and 20% of the world's largest 2,000 public companies have set net-zero commitments. By incentivizing decarbonization, carbon markets have created new revenue. By 2030, the demand for carbon credits is expected to increase >15x and up to 100x by 2050. Global carbon offset markets are projected to grow to $200B by 2050.

Your challenge

There are numerous opportunities to reduce your emissions, but what to do, where to begin and how to implement? You need answers for the following questions:

  • What are the emissions hot spots within your portfolio?
  • What abatement opportunities best align with your strategic objectives How can your position help you differentiate?
  • Where do you start? Who are the ecosystem players? How do you coordinate with them?
  • What KPIs and metrics are most important for your business to understand? How do you measure, track, and report on progress against your carbon and revenue goals?
  • Where do you need to grow, transform, and / or innovate to commercialize abated carbon in your value chain and lead in the market?

In February 2022 we organized a second webinar where we brought this discussion to the next level. Participants had the opportunity to raise any challenges they are experiencing with decarbonizing the food system. We had a panel of food executives from Agrifirm, Kerry and Deloitte who shared their experiences and perspectives to overcome these challenges and together realize a decarbonized food system.

You can download the slides here of our most recent webinar and rewatch both of the webinars below.
