In our recent report, Recipe for Transformation, we found that 24% of respondents in the finance function assess environmental risks but don't factor those assessments into decision-making. Yet, regulatory changes, climate emergencies and resource scarcity are all drivers with monetary consequences.

Guiding the food & beverage sector's transformation to operate within planetary boundaries at Quantis
I’ve just spent an incredible few days with #farmers in Kansas and Missouri, hosted by our friends at Ag Partners and Indigo. This visit was as much a strong reminder as an eye-opener, emphasizing the crucial support needed for farmers transitioning to #regenerative practices. Here are my key takeaways: 🌱 The Heat is On: A 1°C increase can slash Kansas crop yields by 16-20% and net farm income by a staggering 66% (EDF, Cornell University) 🌱 Soil Stewards: Farmers care about soil health to ensure future farming viability. This is not a new concept to them. But undertaking major changes doesn’t just require financial backing, it also needs the right resources, equipment, and technology. 🌱 Beyond Premiums: Premiums help, but farmers need additional financial assurances during their transition, especially if yields drop initially. 🌱 Lifetime of Harvests - Managing the Risks: With only about 40 harvests in a lifetime, testing new practices for 4 years means putting at risk 10% of their lifetime harvests. This is a major ask if they aren’t supported. 🌱 Flexible Carbon Programs - Rewarding Every Effort: farmers don’t like to be told, but does anybody? They need flexible carbon programs that will recognize diverse practices, ones they feel comfortable starting with or that they know will benefit their farms. In addition, many programs don’t reward pre-existing efforts which can still bring benefits to corporations. 🌱 Equipment Costs - The Big Barrier: Hundreds of thousands of dollars for a new truck, higher than their yearly revenue, is a killer for many mid-size farms. Innovative, flexible approaches are needed to tackle these costs. 🌱 The 2030 Crunch for corporations: Companies must act swiftly and accelerate their decision processes; reaching 2030 targets requires investing today to see results. Some investments, if not timed well, will take 2 years before seeing the results. 🌱 Market Timing: farmers are more likely to feel incentivized by premiums in low-price years as their revenue will take a hit. Low corn and soybean prices make this the ideal time for farmers to be receptive to incentives. 🌱 Long-Term Contracts - Double-Edged Sword: While beneficial, long-term contracts need safeguards for farmers if new practices don't work out. Without clear incentives and data from large-scale successful examples, they will halt these efforts. Thank you Jed Miller, Ryan Jones, Emery Sorvino and Heidi Burns for the opportunity. We are committed to organizing more visits like this to bridge the gap between farmers and corporations. Let us know if you’re interested in joining us on this journey!

Reducing carbon footprints is no longer optional for businesses — it's a necessity. While direct emissions (Scope 1 & 2) are important, indirect emissions from the supply chain (Scope 3) are where the real challenge lies. 🌐 Scope 3 emissions can be up to 26 times higher than operational emissions, making their reduction crucial for meeting sustainability targets. By working together, brands and their suppliers can drive mutual benefits by strengthening the supply chain, mitigating risks and building a foundation for future collaboration. Read more insights in our latest article authored by our Global Science + Innovation Lead Marcial Vargas-Gonzalez and our Global Supply Chain Lead Jean-André Bonnardel ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/eH_wMbFi #supplychain #scope3emissions #decarbonization

Quantis is thrilled to have partnered with the World Cocoa Foundation to define a comprehensive GHG accounting methodology for the cocoa industry! Expected to be released in early 2025, this methodology will help cocoa companies with topics such as land use change, land management, carbon removals and rebaselining. 💬 "Harmonizing GHG accounting across sectors is a cornerstone for companies in their sustainability journeys. Within the cocoa sector specifically, GHG accounting is increasingly leveraged to ensure uniformity, enhance trust and credibility, comply with current regulations and prepare for future ones, and help companies meet their climate targets," explains Thierry Hohmann, a Sustainability Expert based out of Quantis' Zurich office.

While incorporating nature into your corporate sustainability strategy may feel daunting, it can actually foster synergies that enhance climate efforts, particularly in the food and beverage industry. 🌾 Fortunately, adopting a nature strategy doesn't require starting from scratch, especially for companies that already have a robust climate strategy or practice regenerative agriculture. Companies can typically leverage existing tactics to assess and prioritize action on their nature impacts.
