Core Features
Klimato’s approach starts with attributional life-cycle assessment (ISO 14040/44, ISO 14067; GHG Protocol Product Standard), applying vetted emission factors to each life-cycle stage and rolling them up per recipe or product. Specific features include:
Product-level LCA/PCF: Calculate cradle-to-gate footprints for recipes and products using an ISO-aligned methodology and food-specific factors.
Scope 1–3 reporting: Roll up site and value-chain impacts; align targets with SBTi and include FLAG where relevant.
Carbon labeling for menus: Publish clear labels on digital or printed menus to nudge lower-impact choices and communicate progress.
Portfolio tracking & insights: Monitor hotspots and reductions across SKUs, menus, and time periods to inform procurement and menu design.
Food-specific EF database: 4,000+ ingredients and 19,000+ variants by origin/method, covering production, processing, packaging, transport.
Sector guidance & resources: Articles and guides tailored to Scope 3 in food and beverage, supporting procurement and disclosure teams.
Closing Insights
Klimato counts major brands like Sodexo, Hilton, and the University of Bristol among its clients, helping them manage and reduce food-related carbon emissions across their multi-site operations.
Underpinning these use cases is a science program designed to keep methods current and defensible. Klimato says its database and procedures are developed by an in-house science team and reviewed and approved by IVL, the Swedish Environmental Research Institute. The World Resources Institute (WRI) has also reviewed and validated that Klimato’s methodology is consistent with its Coolfood Methodology. In addition, Klimato is an officially licensed GRI Software & Tools Partner, committing to full integration of GRI Standards for accurate disclosures.
Together, these partnerships and validations support a practical proposition: food-specific LCA, labeling, and reporting built on methods vetted by trusted institutions. For teams seeking credible, SKU-level Scope 3 insight paired with consumer-facing communication and corporate reporting, Klimato offers a standards-aware path from measurement to action across restaurants, catering, and food manufacturing.
