3rd edition: Annual Barometer on Climate Strategies in the Food Sector

This year’s Barometer, in partnership with Quantis, shows a clear shift: progress is no longer limited by technical capability, but by organizational, financial, and operational constraints. While ambition is widespread, execution remains uneven particularly when it comes to supplier engagement, budgeting, and translating targets into near-term business value.

Based on insights from around 80 food companies across Europe, including strong participation from global market leaders, the Barometer provides a grounded view of where the sector stands today and what will be required to scale action in the years ahead.

In the report, you will learn:

• How sustainability and CSR teams are currently organized and why many remain stretched thin
• How far companies have progressed from footprint measurement to aligning supply chains with science-based targets
• Why risk mitigation has overtaken regulation as a key driver of climate action
• Where companies stand on implementing Scope 3 and FLAG-approved roadmaps in practice
