Purpose-built for the Food industry : Trusted by Sweden's leading food retailers

FoodFacts is already used across the Swedish food ecosystem, supporting both producers and retailers with comparable product-level climate data. Through our work with ICA, Coop Sverige, and Axfood, we help create a shared foundation for measuring and reducing the climate impact of food products.

As a producer you can share carbon footprint data directly with retail partners in a controlled way without creating separate processes or systems. Sensitive product information, such as recipes and formulations, remains securely stored in your account and is never shared.

  • Your figures are consistent with the methodology and standard agreed upon by the industry.
  • Share product data directly with retailers, no separate systems, manual re-entry or paperwork.
  • Keep your CO₂ data private, footprints are only visible to the retailers you share them with.
  • Keep your data in the EU, securely hosted in EU-based data centres.
At Kavli, we know that products and innovation are an essential component to reach our sustainability goals. FoodFacts Hub offers us a 360-degree view of our products’ sustainability, going beyond the carbon footprint to include health, biodiversity, and more. By dynamically modelling trade-offs and impacts, it empowers the commercial, product and purchasing teams to create truly sustainable products.

Use cases : Purpose-built for the food industry

Use case : Measure and improve your climate impact with PCFs

Sustainability data usually forces a choice: rigorous enough to survive an audit, or simple enough to actually use. FoodFacts is both. The science is thorough enough for a sustainability manager to defend, and clear enough for a product developer to act on with confidence. You gain a consistent, product-level foundation for climate reporting, product development, and continuous improvement.

With FoodFacts PCFs you can:

  • Identify emission hotspots across products, ingredients, packaging, suppliers, and processes.
  • Develop lower-impact products by optimizing recipes, sourcing, and packaging.
  • Support reporting and climate targets with trusted product-level carbon data.
  • Continuously improve data quality through primary data integration and automatic PCF updates.

Use case : Make better decisions with multi-metric insights

Move beyond the carbon tunnel and gain a complete view of your portfolio's sustainability and health performance. FoodFacts provides multi-metric indicators covering climate, biodiversity, water risk, and nutrition, helping you identify hotspots, understand trade-offs, and prioritize improvement opportunities.

With these indicators you can answer questions like:

  • Which products or categories have the largest overall sustainability and health impacts?
  • Where are our biggest climate, biodiversity, and water hotspots?
  • Which products and ingredients should we prioritize for improvement?

Use case : Move from ambition to action with product-level insights

Sustainability improvements start with understanding where impacts occur. Product-level and portfolio-wide data helps you see the drivers behind the environmental and health impacts, from ingredients and sourcing to packaging and formulation choices.

In FoodFacts platform, you can:

  • Identify hotspots across products, ingredients, packaging, and suppliers to understand where the largest impacts occur.
  • Prioritize improvement opportunities across multiple indicators by focusing on the products with the highest potential for impact.
  • Guide product development and supplier collaboration with shared insights that help teams focus on the actions that matter most.
  • Track portfolio performance over time and measure the impact of sustainability improvements across your product range.

Use case : Design better products from the start

Sustainability outcomes are often shaped during the product development and concept stages. FoodFacts helps product development, sustainability and innovation teams understand the impact of different choices early in the process, before decisions around ingredients, recipes, packaging, and sourcing are locked in.

Use product-level sustainability insights to:

  • Compare alternatives across formulations, ingredients, sourcing and packaging to understand the impact.
  • Understand trade-offs between climate, biodiversity, water, and nutrition.
  • Benchmark concepts against category standards and competitors to identify opportunities for improvement.
  • Support innovation teams and NPD teams with data-backed insights throughout the product development process.
