Startup Foodsteps launches free access to carbon impact platform

06 Mar 2023
With food creating 26% of global greenhouse gas emissions, Foodsteps has opened its platform for free to help the industry further understand the carbon impact of their produce.

Foodsteps uses its ‘innovative’ platform to offer data and communication solutions for food businesses looking to measure, report, reduce and communicate their food’s environmental impact. Over the last year, Foodsteps has worked with Gousto, AllPlants and Wagamama.

Anya Doherty, founder and chief executive of Foodsteps, said: “The food that we grow, cook, serve and eat has a fundamental impact on the natural world.

"We urgently need to decarbonise our food choices, and this can’t happen without food businesses leading the way. You can now sign up for free and explore the impact of up to five recipes or food items.”

The free access to the platform includes the ability to see the impact across the entire life cycle of food products, enabling businesses to add up to five recipes, or food items, and receive instant sustainability data.

Andrew Stephen, chief impact officer at Foodsteps, added: “We’re passionate about supporting businesses to make a change. For those that want to go further, we’ve made it simple to upgrade subscription, adding more recipes and more detail to the assessments. Then businesses can download the Foodsteps carbon labels making it even easier to understand and promote to the end user.”
