From emissions to impact: measuring and reducing FLAG emissions in the food industry

Join Möbius & Carbon+Alt+Delete for a 45-minute webinar on tackling FLAG emissions in the food industry. Learn how to measure and reduce land-related emissions, set science-based targets (SBTi-FLAG), and streamline your CO₂ accounting — all in line with the latest standards like CSRD and the GHG Protocol.

How can food companies efficiently measure and reduce FLAG emissions to meet stricter sustainability standards?

The food industry is one of the sectors most affected by the consequences of climate change, but it is also a major source of emissions. The sector is responsible for approximately 22% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Accurately measuring and reducing land-related (FLAG) and industrial emissions is therefore crucial.

What to expect?

Introduction to FLAG emissions:

Get acquainted with FLAG (Forest, Land, and Agriculture) emissions and discover the different components involved. We will explain how these emissions are linked to the requirements of the FLAG-SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) standard.

FLAG-SBTi target setting:

Learn who is impacted by the FLAG-SBTi standard and how to translate SBTi rules into science-based reduction targets.

Demo Carbon+Alt+Delete:

Discover how advanced CO₂ accounting software simplifies the calculation and automation of complex FLAG emissions.

The language in the webinar is English.

Who are Möbius and Carbon+Alt+Delete?

Möbius

Within the Möbius Sustainability team, experienced climate experts combine their strategic and technical expertise to guide companies towards a thoughtful and high-quality climate strategy. To strengthen this, we collaborate with Carbon+Alt+Delete, an advanced cloud-based CO₂ accounting software. Thanks to this partnership, we combine our expertise with innovative technology, leading to a more accurate, transparent, and efficient approach. Additionally, this allows companies to take action on their climate impact faster and more independently.

Carbon+Alt+Delete

Carbon+Alt+Delete calculates the CO₂ footprint in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and centralises data and calculations in user-friendly dashboards. The tool supports reporting in accordance with CSRD (E1), the GHG Protocol, and ISO standards, and offers additional features such as setting reduction targets and simulating reduction measures. The greatest advantage? Carbon+Alt+Delete ensures companies stay aligned with the latest regulations and guidelines, such as the Land Sector and Removals Guidance from the GHG Protocol.

Frequently asked questions

What are FLAG emissions?

FLAG emissions (Forest, Land, and Agriculture) are greenhouse gas emissions that result from activities in forestry, agriculture, and land use. This includes deforestation, livestock farming, land use, or changes in land use.

Why are FLAG emissions important?

They are responsible for approximately 22% of global greenhouse gas emissions. However, they have historically been measured less accurately than, for example, industrial emissions, even though they have a significant climate impact – both negative (such as deforestation) and positive (such as carbon storage in soil or forests).

How are companies supported in dealing with FLAG emissions?

Recent standards have been developed, such as the Land Sector and Removals Guidance (LSRG) from the GHG Protocol and the FLAG SBTi Standard from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). These enable companies to better map FLAG emissions and set specific reduction targets.

Why is there growing attention to FLAG emissions in business?

An increasing number of companies and investors value transparency and sustainability. As a result, there is growing pressure to make emissions from forestry, agriculture, and land use visible and actively reduce them. Measuring FLAG emissions is therefore a crucial step towards credible climate ambitions and sustainable business practices.
