More than 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions are attributed to the food industry. As food manufacturers, much of the sustainability burden falls on your shoulders as the world moves towards net-zero emission goals. This is why food manufacturers must face the challenges to meet regulatory requirements and to exceed consumer expectations. Sustainable goods and services are no longer a niche section of the market as consumers behaviors are shifting and are more willing to switch to a “greener” food brand on their tables.
Find out why developing a sustainable manufacturing strategy is essential for your food manufacturing operations and how the sustainability assessment can help you establish a holistic view for your current sustainability maturity levels, and developing an agile roadmap towards achieving your sustainability goals.
The Current Sustainability Landscape in Food Manufacturing
Right now, the food manufacturing sector is undergoing significant changes towards sustainable manufacturing, driven by technological advancements, regulatory frameworks, and consumer demand for eco-friendly products. The region's focus on sustainable practices, from farming to packaging, and the integration of advanced technologies are key factors shaping the future of food manufacturing.
It can be challenging to pinpoint where to start, as the shift to sustainable manufacturing will impact all facets of the company. Keeping a food factory on track to meet sustainability goals can feel like a balancing act with no end in sight. From food waste mitigation and lowering carbon footprints to sustainable packaging and sourcing, there’s much to do but ambiguity on where to begin.
What is Sustainability Assessment?
Sustainability Assessment enables food factories to formally assess their current level of sustainability. The assessments provide companies with invaluable insights into risk and gaps and what can be done to improve their standing. To help food companies pace their sustainability initiatives, the assessment provides a benchmark of company’s position against industry peers.
The sustainability assessment is building on Consumer Sustainability Industry Readiness Index (COSIRI), an independent and neutral sustainability framework developed by INCIT and endorsed by World Economic Forum. COSIRI Framework assesses 24 dimensions across four core elements of sustainability:
- Strategy and Risk Management
- Sustainable Business Processes
- Technology
- Organization and Governance
