Food & Agriculture

80% of your footprint is in scope 3 — and your suppliers do not know what that is

EUDR, SBTi FLAG, distributor demands. Tapio gives chefs, buyers and sustainability teams one place to compare suppliers and prove progress.

Sector pain points

Your scope 3 is everywhere. Your data is nowhere.

What food & agriculture teams told us before they switched to Tapio.

80% of your footprint sits with suppliers who never heard of scope 3

Collecting primary data on 200 references means cold-calling each one.

Your distributor wants a carbon report next quarter or you are off the shelf

And you do not even have a baseline.

EUDR forces plot-level traceability your ERP was never built for

Cocoa lots, coffee origins, beef herds — all expected, none documented.

PPWR forces a packaging redesign with no carbon visibility

You do not know whether the alternative is actually better.

Your chefs and buyers cannot compare two suppliers at sourcing time

No tool, no comparison, no decision.

Much of your footprint grows in a field, and your report can’t tell it apart.

Land-use change, fertiliser and livestock emissions sit inside Scope 3.1 with everything else. SBTi now wants them in a separate bucket.

How Tapio helps

Concretely, here is what changes for food & agriculture teams

Five capabilities that turn scope 3 chaos into a sourcing decision tool.

Supplier engagement portal

Send a structured form to 200 suppliers in one click. Get back primary data in 2 weeks instead of 6 months of cold-calling.

Carbon-per-recipe calculator

Compare two suppliers or two recipes side by side at sourcing time. Your chefs and buyers see the kgCO₂e impact before they sign the order.

EUDR traceability links

Cocoa to plot, beef to herd, soy to country of origin. Plug existing supplier docs and Tapio builds the chain of custody.

Distributor-ready exports

Carrefour, Delhaize, Colruyt and major foodservice formats out of the box. Stop reformatting your carbon report for every customer.

Packaging carbon comparator

Test PPWR-compliant alternatives by impact. Know whether your "eco" packaging is actually better — before redesigning your whole line.

FLAG emissions

See the land behind your footprint

Forest, land and agriculture emissions, separated from the rest of your Scope 1–3 and ready for an SBTi FLAG target.

Factors split the way SBTi asks.

Specify land-use change, land management and removals on your emission factors, including your own from supplier data or LCAs.

FLAG wherever you look.

FLAG emissions in activity data and the report overview, so you see them where you already work.

A FLAG vs non-FLAG view in Analytics.

One chart shows how much of your footprint comes from land, by main step.

Export-ready.

Your FLAG figures come out with the report export, ready for a target submission or your own analysis.

Removals without double counting.

Land-based removals are tracked apart, so they support your targets without hiding emissions.
