TraceGains has partnered with DitchCarbon, a climate intelligence company. The addition of DitchCarbon to TraceGains’ networked ecosystem helps customers elevate the visibility and manageability of their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) efforts.

According to TraceGains R&D and Product Innovation in the Food and Beverage Industry research, 26% of global food and beverage leaders plan to fast-track their carbon-neutral strategies this year.

“Most environmental impacts originate in supply chains,” said Marc Munier, CEO and founder of DitchCarbon. “To accelerate global emission reductions, climate-conscious decision making must be embedded in daily operations. TraceGains is leading the way in this approach making this vision a reality.”

DitchCarbon's environmental intelligence tools provide a comprehensive picture of supplier sustainability, offering scoring and evaluation based on globally accepted frameworks. This integration allows brands to incorporate supplier sustainability performance data into their sourcing strategies early in the product life cycle, driving environmental intelligence and reducing risk from the outset.

Key features of this partnership include:

• Supplier Sustainability Rankings: Evaluate supplier participation in initiatives like CDP, UN Global Compact, and SBTI.
• Emission Measurements: Detailed breakdowns of total emissions, Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, and greenhouse gas data.
• Regional Impact Scores: Compare the carbon intensity of energy grids globally.

This partnership enables brands to develop precise supplier sustainability dashboards and reports, facilitating long-term improvement against climate objectives. The integration of DitchCarbon's capabilities into TraceGains' platform provides brands with tools to manage environmental impacts, and meet growing consumer, and retail demands for sustainable products.
