SBTi v2 for food and beverage

Food and beverage companies have some of the most material Scope 3 footprints because of agriculture and land use.

Likely Scope 3 hotspots

  • Agriculture and land use change.
  • Upstream transportation across long supply chains.

Supplier evidence to prepare

  • Supplier specific data for the largest agricultural inputs.
