The partnership has already helped catering clients to achieve up to 16% reduction in emissions in just over 12 months; well on track to achieve 30% carbon reduction by 2025.
The service enables Dynamify clients and customers, which includes contract caterers including Sodexo, Elior, Atalian, ISS, WSH, and CH&CO, as well as Fortune Global 500 companies and universities to track, manage, and reduce their carbon footprint.
The carbon labelling service is rolled out across all ordering channels, helping companies detect carbon hotspots and where changes can be made, removing back-of-house inefficiencies and taking informed, strategic decisions to move more quickly towards carbon mitigation.
The increased visibility will also generate more awareness to customers about their carbon consumption and help the public, in general, bring down their own footprint with educated choices.
Maxwell Harding, founder of Dynamify, said: “In sites that Dynamify and Klimato are already operating within, we’ve seen a 23% reduction in their carbon footprint in just 18 months. We’re confident in our 30% carbon reduction forecast having combined the two services, thanks to rolling carbon labelling out to more ordering channels.
“The ongoing climate emergency, and events such as the record heat, has prompted more businesses to responsibly accelerate their march towards the UK’s net zero target by 2050. By introducing digital carbon labelling, we expect food service providers and retailers to change their product offering as consumer awareness grows and as demand for more sustainable products increases.”
By integrating Klimato’s carbon labelling tool businesses can better manage their Scope 3 emissions, which covers factors such as agricultural production, transportation, cooking, delivery and waste.
Erik Olsen, head of growth and UK country manager at Klimato, added: “Our rapid success across Sweden and Europe has helped thousands of restaurants achieve an annual carbon reduction level that is well above the official UN recommendation. There is very strong demand from the UK catering industry for these same results as people become increasingly environmentally aware of the impact of the food they consume.
“The UK’s food industry currently accounts for 35% of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions, but we are confident that by this new partnership with Dynamify, we will be able to match the 10.9% carbon annual footprint reduction that we’ve achieved elsewhere.”
