REPORT
Carbon Maps helps companies in the food industry calculate and report their SBTi FLAG (Forest, Land, and Agriculture) emissions, down to the product or ingredient level, in line with SBTi requirements.
Start aligning with SBTi FLAG targets today.
SBTi FLAG is part of the Science Based Targets initiative, which helps companies set science-based climate goals. The FLAG framework is a specific guidance to help companies in land-intensive sectors set targets for reducing their GHG emissions and increasing carbon removals.
FLAG emissions come from land-related activities like deforestation, land-use change, and farming practices. For food companies, this includes emissions from growing crops, raising livestock, and sourcing ingredients. These are major sources of greenhouse gases, but also key areas where companies can take action to reduce their climate impact.
Separating FLAG and non-FLAG emissions helps companies set more accurate and targeted reduction goals. Since FLAG emissions come from land-based activities like agriculture and deforestation, they require different strategies than emissions from energy or transport. This distinction also ensures companies stay aligned with SBTi requirements and report transparently.
