The Business Case for Granular Emission Factors

Many food and beverage companies are using common emission factor databases, delivering generalized data, which can introduce a wide array of risks to their business. Instead of such generalized emission factors, companies using granular emission factors have greater insight into their GHG impact accounting and, consequently, can design more effective carbon reduction strategies.

Granularity in this realm can lead to positive business impacts including direct cost reduction, lower costs of capital, and greater sales opportunities.​
