Achieving Net Zero Through Value Chain Mitigation Interventions: Exploring Accounting, Monitoring & Assurance in Food and Agriculture

As food and agriculture companies work to reduce their Scope 3 emissions, the challenge lies in translating commitments into measurable action. Achieving Net Zero Through Value Chain Mitigation Interventions provides clear guidance to help companies account for and report their emissions reductions throughout complex value chains.

This addendum expands on the Value Change Intervention Guidance 1.1, offering practical solutions for defining Supply Sheds, improving data accuracy through Life Cycle Assessment methods, and strengthening assurance processes for emissions claims. It also addresses key strategies for monitoring, reporting, and verification, while exploring how companies can collaborate to scale interventions effectively.

Developed by the 2022 Value Change Initiative Food and Agriculture Working Group, the document aligns with global standards such as the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) and the GHG Protocol. It’s an essential resource for sustainability teams, climate strategists, and any company looking to meet its net-zero goals by building more transparent and sustainable supply chains.
