Food producers should take Foodsteps
With new sustainability regulations like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), California's Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (SB253), and the IFRS S2 requiring detailed emissions reporting across Scopes 1, 2, and 3, food companies face mounting pressure to ensure transparency in their environmental impact.
Research shows up to 95% of a food company’s carbon footprint comes from Scope 3 emissions (related to supply chain activities).
Foodsteps offers an industry-leading solution designed specifically at the food industry. The assessments give food companies granular carbon measurements that meet reporting requirements while also providing actionable insights for targeted decarbonisation.
Stephanie Pereira, Climate & Environment Impact Analyst at Compass Group UK&I, emphasised the impact of Foodsteps’ services: “Foodsteps analysed 1.7 million rows of food and beverage data with Compass. The insights from Foodsteps contributed to the development of Compass' Transition Plan, which is aligned to the goals of the UK government’s Transition Plan Taskforce.
"Based on this successful experience, we partnered with Foodsteps once again to measure our FY24 food and beverage data. By working with Foodsteps on Scope 3 Assessments and recipe measurement, Compass has made evidence-based ingredient choices and utilised menu modelling to inform decisions, empowering stakeholders to drive change within their sectors.”
Foodsteps’ Scope 3 Assessments simplify regulatory compliance, such as with the CSRD, by reducing costs and enhancing data accuracy. Backed by a robust database of over 40,000 emissions factors and expert support from in-house data scientists, Foodsteps delivers reliable Scope 3 data tailored to the food industry. Beyond compliance, its assessments reveal emissions hotspots in supply chains, enabling businesses to make targeted reductions and rely less on costly offsets. Trusted by brands like KFC, Ella’s Kitchen, and Compass Group, Foodsteps has proven success in elevating sustainability credentials for leading food businesses.
Foodsteps Founder and Director, Anya Doherty said, “Decarbonising our food systems requires significant work, and Scope 3 data is key to unlocking this potential. With increasing regulatory demands for precise supply chain reporting, the food and beverage industry urgently needs accurate, comprehensive data. Foodsteps is proud to bring to market the first purpose-built solution for the food industry to tackle the complex but necessary exercise of measuring and reporting on Scope 3 emissions.”
With the launch of Scope 3 Assessments, Foodsteps supports food businesses in navigating sustainability reporting mandates while actively advancing decarbonisation goals. Food companies are encouraged to explore how Foodsteps’ assessments can ease regulatory burdens and build long-term value at www.foodsteps.earth.

Sandford Orchards' Devon Red Cider Scoops More Awards
.png)
It's just scooped a well-deserved Gold at the Food Drink Devon Awards and a Silver at the Great British Food Awards. These are in addition to the Gold it was awarded at the Taste of The West Awards earlier this year.
Says Barny Butterfield, Chief Cidermaker at Sandford Orchards: “Devon Red's our flagship cider and the one that is most well-known and widely adored by our fans.
"Just last year it was voted 'best drink' by the readers of Food Lifestyle Magazine. However, we are sometimes, perhaps, a little complacent about just how good it is.
"So this year, we decided to put this to the test with the professionals and entered it into three award competitions. We are thrilled to say it's returned victorious from each one. Across the board, the judging panels, which included some leading drinks experts, recognised Devon Red as an award-winning cider.”
Devon Red (ABV 4.5%) is a naturally tasty and utterly delicious, crisp and fruity cider. It takes its name from the rich red Devon soil that gives the orchards their distinctive quality. It's a refreshing, balanced apple cider packed with the juice of Farmers Glory, Dabinett and Sweet Alford apples, all grown and pressed within Devon.
The Great British Food Awards were launched in 2014 to celebrate the country's finest artisanal produce, as well as the hard-working people behind the scenes.
This year's awards were judged by some incredibly high profiled industry experts including michelin-starred chefs, Raymond Blanc and Michele Roux junior and TV personality and drinks expert, Olly Smith.
The Food Drink Devon Awards, now in their 13th year, celebrate the best food and drink the region has to offer. This year over 340 products were judged by a panel of independent, unbiased experts which included renowned drinks writers Fiona Beckett and Susy Atkins and TV drinks presenter, Andy Clarke.
Founded in 2002, independent, family-owned Sandford Orchards is based in Crediton, Mid Devon in the oldest working cider mill in the UK. The area has long been known as one of the most fertile parishes in all of Britain, both for its grazing and ability to grow apples. Crediton sits in the lee of the moors, so receives just the perfect amount of rain and the right units of heat during the summer months.
Sandford Orchards takes a fresh, natural and low impact approach to producing cider. Combining tradition and innovation, Sandford Orchards produces an award-winning range of core session, traditional, fine and fruit ciders.
