The Scotland Food & Drink Partnership’s Net Zero Commitment has released a new handbook designed to help food and drink businesses become more sustainable.
The Navigating Net Zero Handbook, available to download for free, breaks down key Net Zero terms and offers practical advice to support businesses in their sustainability efforts. It aims to cut through the jargon and equip businesses with the knowledge they need to reduce their emissions in line with the national 2045 target and meet climate change goals.
The handbook comes as a recent PwC survey found that 80% of consumers are willing to pay a premium for sustainably produced goods, indicating a readiness to spend nearly 10% more on environmentally friendly products.
FDF Net Zero programme director Iain Clunie said: “As members of the food and drink industry, it is crucial that we take proactive steps to reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to the global effort against climate change.
“Understanding the language around emissions and Net Zero is vital for driving real change in Scotland’s food and drink industry. By knowing and understanding these key terms, businesses can better engage in conversations, interpret data, and make informed sustainability decisions.”
