The Business Case for Decarbonization in the Agri-Food Industry

The food and beverage industry is at a pivotal crossroads. As one of Canada’s largest manufacturing sectors, responsible for 18% of the national manufacturing GDP and over 300,000 jobs, this industry is a cornerstone of both the economy and the daily lives of Canadians. Yet, it faces mounting pressure from a rapidly changing climate, evolving consumer expectations, and stricter regulatory demands. Rising temperatures, erratic weather patterns, and global supply chain disruptions pose existential risks, threatening not just the profitability of individual businesses but the stability of the entire sector.

Now more than ever, business leaders must not only recognize that sustainability isn’t just about environmental stewardship—it’s a strategic necessity, but they must also possess a deep understanding of the broader context of sustainability and its implications. At the heart of this transformation is emissions tracking, a tool that enables companies to uncover inefficiencies, reduce costs, and position themselves as leaders in a fiercely competitive market. Beyond compliance, emissions tracking unlocks opportunities for innovation, operational excellence, and enhanced brand reputation.

This white paper highlights both the urgent need and significant opportunity for companies to take action now. Businesses that proactively manage their carbon footprint will:

Unlock new export markets by complying with global carbon reporting requirements
Win more contracts as retailers and buyers prioritize sustainability from their suppliers
Achieve cost savings through improved energy efficiency and waste reduction and lower operational expenses.
