“Requests for emission data from our retail customers are increasing every year. We decided to work with Root because they understand the intricacies of the food and beverage industry, from the needs of farmers through to the requirements communicated by large retailers.”

Meet growing customer requirements

Calculate hundreds of GHG-compliant PCFs and share the reports directly with downstream customers. Root’s platform identifies the key activities in your production process, allowing you to focus on the most relevant data points only.

Leverage the support of industry experts

Calculating PCFs for food and drink (by-)products requires an in-depth understanding of the supply chain and production process. With Root, you don’t need to educate us – our team already understands the food and beverage industry inside out, and we share our learnings to streamline the PCF process.

Establish trust with accurate, compliant PCFs

We follow the GHG protocol and all relevant industry standards such as IDF, and our PCF results are certified by GUTcert following the ISO 14064-3 standard. We provide summary reports that can be shared with your customers, and more detailed reports for internal use. Where available, Root also integrates emission factors for raw ingredients based on validated farm-level emissions data.

Your frequently asked
questions, our answers

Why are retailers and FMCG brands increasingly asking for PCFs?

Retailers (especially in the EU and UK) now request product emission data for product listings, supplier evaluations, and sustainability scoring. PCFs provide a transparent and comparable framework for analysing climate impact and purchasing decisions.

Can I calculate a PCF with Root without farm-level activity data?

Yes. Root can use reliable secondary emission factors where primary emissions data is not available. Many companies might begin with secondary data, then switch to collect farm-level data as their climate journey matures. Root supports this transition seamlessly.

Are Root’s PCFs compliant with GHG Protocol and retailer expectations?

Yes – our emission calculation methodology and PCFs are compliant with the GHG Protocol - Product Lifecycle Accounting & Reporting Standard, verified and certified by GUTCert based on ISO 14064-3:2020-05.
