"We were wondering if it was possible to calculate the impact of food&beverage distribution"
To find out the impact of the distribution of food&beverage products on a specific point of sale
it was first necessary to analyze the carbon footprint of the distribution company that supplied that point of sale
but there was no specific model to do it.
.
"Why a specially designed LCA model?"
The food&beverage distributor is not a simple shipper but a company that offers various complex services,
with related very relevant impacts and a generic methodology could not be used but it was necessary to create
a new model specific to the sector.
Research and working group
"How can you start a diet without a scale?"
To reduce CO2 emissions, as happens in a diet, you must first know the your starting weight.
Since there is no "precision balance" we have set up, thanks to the network made available by Joule,
an authoritative and qualified work and research group,
and we made together with ERGO - Spin off of the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna of Pisa,
an innovative certified and specially designed LCA model
to calculate the environmental impact of food&beverage distribution and procurement.
So MISURHO was born.
LCA modelpurpose built with scientific rigourfor the analysis and reporting of the carbon footprint of the distribution service food&beverage,
and itsimpact on the final points of sale.
In this way we offer apunctual calculationof each individual company sector and we verify
over 100 areas of analysis
related to the UN 2030 SDGs objectives:
UTILITIES
OFFICES
WAREHOUSE
LOGISTICS
SALES FORCE
POP MATERIAL
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
WASTE
WATER CONSUMPTION
ETC..
MEASURHO
LCA model certified by a third-party verification body for the calculation of the Carbon Footprint compliant with the UNI EN ISO 14040:2021 and UNI EN ISO 14044:2021 standards
Pilot companies
The research study was carried out and validated thanks to the involvement of distribution companies
in the Horeca sector specially chosen with very different characteristics
and located throughout the Italian territory for greater homogeneity of data.
