We recognize the significant role that the food and beverage industry holds in addressing climate change. The industry is associated with 29% of global greenhouse gases throughout the supply chain and distribution, which means it is well positioned to manage environmental risk, realize related opportunities, and drive positive change on crucial issues such as climate change.
ClimateHound has built the all-in-one carbon accounting software, prioritizing accuracy, user-friendliness, and adaptability. Our cutting-edge technologies empower food and beverage businesses to efficiently calculate, manage, and report on their carbon footprints.

ClimateHound works with leading carbon markets to rigorously evaluate carbon-negative projects for transparency, additionality, and meaningful impact.
A U.N. report has set 2030 as a target for cutting worldwide emissions by 50% if we want to avert a climate crisis. ClimateHound helps accelerate your sustainability to safeguard your company’s continued success, while contributing to global climate goals.
The carbon footprint for a beverage producer is the sum total of the environmental impact, measured in greenhouse gas emissions, caused by everything from growing and processing ingredients like grain or fruit to creating packaging to shipping finished products.
For bars and restaurants, your carbon footprint encompasses not only your energy use for cooking, lighting, and HVAC, but also the emissions associated with employee commutes, growing ingredients, and creating supplies needed to serve your customers.
Carbon footprints matter because we are on the verge of an irreversible climate crisis unless both businesses and consumers start making choices to control their own environmental impact.
1. It means having your total carbon footprint calculated.
2. It means making changes year by year to reduce your overall footprint.
3. And it means funding carbon negative projects to offset the parts of your footprint that can’t be reduced directly.
ClimateHound facilitates funding of carbon negative projects to offset the parts of an entity's climate footprint that can’t be reduced directly. We do so by pooling together funding from small and mid-size businesses for a greater impact than any one could achieve on their own. Certification of carbon neutrality represents a ClimateHound certified entity's commitment of funds equivalent to offsets to be purchased and retired in a 1:1 ratio with its carbon footprint calculation.
A certified carbon offset makes up for the production of one metric ton of greenhouse gasses by helping to fund a carbon negative project, like soil management, conservation practices, renewable energy, or direct air carbon capture and storage.
ClimateHound specializes in carbon footprint calculations and reductions for the food and beverage industry. We believe that the best possible way to create the maximum impact is by aligning with a climate company that specifically serves your industry and knows the complex considerations at hand in your day-to-day processes.
Yes! Roughly seven in ten Americans (69%) feel a personal sense of responsibility to help reduce global warming, and about one-third of Americans (33%) say they have rewarded companies that are taking steps to reduce global warming by buying their products in the past 12 months, according to two national studies by the Yale Program on Climate Change Communications.
One-third of Americans are now convinced that global warming is happening, human-caused, and an urgent threat, and they strongly support climate policies, according to the YPCCC.
That’s especially true among the Gen Z consumers – out of college and starting to form their adult brand loyalties – who represent a target market for the food and beverage industry. One Pew Research study surveyed 13,000 people and found that among those aged 22 to 24, 37% identified climate change as their top personal concern. About a third of other age groups – Millennials (33%), Gen X (27%), and Boomers (29%) – felt the same way.
"The vast majority of actively publishing climate scientists – 97 percent – agree that humans are causing global warming and climate change." - NASA
A U.S. consumer study by First Insight and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania found that, "consumers across all generations—from Baby Boomers to Gen Z—are now willing to spend more for sustainable products. Just two years ago, only 58 percent of consumers across all generations were willing to spend more for sustainable options. Today, nearly 90 percent of Gen X consumers said that they would be willing to spend 10 percent extra or more for sustainable products, compared to just over 34 percent two years ago." This represents a colossal shift in consumer purchase decisions!
Sure, you could do this yourself, but you’re busy running a business, and you don’t have time to become an expert on emissions reduction and carbon neutrality. ClimateHound has done the research to ensure that your funding for carbon negative projects produces real, measurable impact, and you can feel confident in telling your customers that you’re doing what’s right for the planet.
Few industries are as tied to the climate as food and beverage production, with its reliance on crops, clean water sources, and transportation.
Scorching summer temperatures have led to the ruin of entire crops, and increasingly common forest fires have yielded smoke-tainted produce. Even the water supplies in some areas have become disrupted and unusable because of smoke from these fires. Aggressive wind storms have toppled fruit trellises. In February 2021, deep freeze in much of the U.S. halted supply chains critical to food and beverage production and distribution.
In short, yes!
One ton of CO2 is approximately equal to filling up a 2200-sq-ft single story home with 8-ft ceilings. Another example: driving a 25 mpg car 2500 miles is equal to about one ton of CO2, or a little less than 1 lb of CO2 per mile.
(To note: carbon offset equivalents (CO2e) are actually measured in metric tonnes, or 2204.62 lbs, but we kept this example in standard terms.)
