With a strong commitment to sustainability, Bidfood has set robust climate targets to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2045 across all scopes.
Calculating Purchased Goods and Services is a ‘significant challenge’ for companies in the food system as the category usually accounts for the majority of Scope 3 emissions. Carbon management in this category calls for sustained collaborative action throughout the supply chain, and the data required for the calculations is often difficult to pinpoint.
Jim Gouldie, supply chain and technical services director at Bidfood, said: "We’re thrilled to embark on this exciting collaboration with CarbonCloud and start collaborating with our suppliers on a single platform. Data integrity and scalability for our value chain is an important step towards achieving our sustainability objectives.”
CarbonCloud's ‘innovative’ platform streamlines this process, providing Bidfood and its suppliers the opportunity to connect securely and seamlessly for better climate insights.
Bidfood and its stakeholders will be able to exchange emissions data securely and evaluate the climate impact of various products, even when dealing with diverse categories.
David Bryngelsson, chief executive and founder of CarbonCloud, added: “Bidfood’s forward-thinking approach to climate impact makes them an ideal partner and we are thrilled to join forces. The partnership marks a new era of sustainability in the foodservice industry. By collaborating on advanced climate calculations, we are taking a significant step toward a net-zero value chain and collaborative future.”
