Sustainability & Carbon Footprint (food-specific)
5 products listed
Introduction
Some buyers and customers want to know what a dish or product does to the climate. This software estimates that from your recipes or purchasing data, using a database of emissions for thousands of ingredients. Outputs include a footprint per dish, carbon labels for menus and packs, and reports covering emissions across your supply chain. Some products also score water use, animal welfare or health. The category splits between tools for restaurants and caterers who want dish-level scores, and platforms for manufacturers and retailers who need product footprints and supplier data.
Who needs it
Contract caterers, hotel and restaurant groups, food brands and retailers with reporting duties or customer requests use these tools. A single independent restaurant rarely has a reason to pay for one. It becomes worth considering when a buyer asks for figures or you want carbon labels on your menu. Reporting standards vary, so ask how each product's method is documented.

What to look for
Dish level or product level. Some products score each recipe on a menu, others calculate footprints from a bill of materials. Pick the one that matches what you sell.
Emissions database transparency. Results depend on the data behind them. Ask how many ingredients are covered and how gaps are filled.
Supplier data input. A few products let suppliers add their own figures, which improves accuracy but needs supplier cooperation.
App, API or report output. Some products offer a web app for recipes and an API for your own systems. Check that the format suits your team.
Published price or quote. Of the five profiled products, four are quote only and one lists a per-site monthly price. Ask for a full quote early.
