Qualitative, credible data

Two of our core values at Mérieux NutriSciences | Blonk are quality and transparency. Becoming connected to the Agri-footprint database means disclosing your environmental impact data as an Branded Data Add-on to a highly valued LCA database for the agri-food sector.

To make sure that the quality and consistency of the database is safeguarded, we have set up minimum requirements for Branded Data add-ons. Such as, a certain minimum amount of primary data is required to be represented in the LCA calculations. Also, the Branded Data add-ons have to be critically reviewed by an LCA expert.

We make sure that add-ons are credible and transparent - just like the Agri-footprint database itself.

Transparency

Disclosing your data

How does it work?

If you have already done a Life Cycle Impact Assessment of your products, you have valuable information stored. Disclosing your data through our platforms will ensure its visibility- and easy access to the right stakeholders. The data add-ons will become available through our website, as an Excel download. This makes it easy to use either with- or without LCA software. We share the availability of these branded datasets through all our communication channels. We have an extensive network of sustainability experts from the food industry, governmental bodies, consultants and academics, who are always looking for the best data available.

If your LCA or environmental impact data is already generated, we will first conduct a quality assessment. With this assessment we review the extent to which your data is based on primary data, and we ensure it is compliant to relevant footprint standards, so it can rightfully serve as an add-on to our high-quality Agri-footprint database.

If you are interested, but you don’t have insight in your environmental data yet, contact us to discuss the opportunities.
