Emissions Reporting:
What’s working right now?
What it takes to produce a carbon number you'd defend in front of an auditor.
Watch the full on-demand session with Bari Pollard (Bright Blue Foods), Giovanni Georgio (GSK) and Emma Neudegg (BIP Verco).
Most manufacturers can produce a carbon number. Far fewer would defend the one they produced in front of an auditor.
This was a practical conversation about closing that gap — what is working, what it cost, and where each of them is still stuck.
In 60 minutes, contributors covered:
- Scope 1 and 2 tracking built from utility bills and the free DEFRA factors
- What one freezer replacement was worth: £10,000 a year
- What the software actually costs: £15k–£50k, and £30k–£75k at product level
- Why 82% of a food manufacturer's footprint sits in purchased goods
- How a failed gas capture unit reported itself as working for a month
- Where spend-based data is fine — and where it will never show a reduction
- What an auditor asks for first
