SKU-level transparency reshapes brand preference

Consumers are increasingly less likely to choose a brand whose product label lacks carbon data. For food producers and retailers, CarbonSmart calculates SKU-level product carbon footprints, gathers supplier data from a single hub, and produces benchmark reports by category.

Product carbon footprint in the food and retail sector — SKU-level ISO 14067 compliant reporting

The Sector's Real Problems

From data collection to reporting — every step breaks

!

Product-level carbon accounting for thousands of SKUs — impossible to do manually

!

Disconnected data flow across producers, logistics and the retail chain

!

Inability to meet customer and climate label requirements

!

A shelf strategy where the retailer cannot see category-level emission intensity

Platform Features

Sector-specific, end-to-end integrated

SKU-level analysis

Parallel PCF calculation for the entire product portfolio. Agricultural inputs, processing, packaging, cold chain and shelf life components are handled separately.

Supplier management

Cooperatives, local producers and international suppliers provide data through the same portal; primary data usage scales by category.

Fast reporting

Carbon intensity reports by category / aisle / store ready in minutes. Convert to commercial templates and climate label formats.

Comparative emission label

Benchmarking among similar products — transparent data for both consumers and category managers.

Success Story

Migros — Category-Based SKU Carbon Study

For Migros, an SKU-level carbon footprint study on private-label products was carried out on the CarbonSmart platform.

Supplier data, Migros's private-label product trees, packaging components and cold chain logistics were defined within the platform. Product carbon footprints were calculated at the SKU level for the priority category; category emission intensity and alternative supplier / packaging scenarios were reported comparatively. The output served both the sustainability team's reporting and category management's shelf strategy.
