Case Study: Thomas Foods International achieves trusted emissions data and reduction insights with Emitwise

How Thomas Foods International slashed the time taken to submit to the CDP

Thomas Foods International (TFI), a global meat processor and distributor, faced the challenge that the vast majority of its emissions come from thousands of livestock suppliers across multiple countries, making supplier engagement, compliant customer reporting, and prioritised decarbonisation difficult. To address this, TFI partnered with Emitwise and adopted the Emitwise carbon management platform to calculate emissions across its operations and supply chain and to provide trusted data for sustainability reporting.

Using the Emitwise platform and expert support, TFI implemented rigorous data-collection processes, centralised reporting and hotspot identification—finding refrigerants account for more than a third of its Scope 1 and 2 emissions and that Scope 3 represents over 95% of its footprint. Emitwise enabled TFI to quantify packaging impacts, prioritise equipment replacements, streamline customer reporting and leverage sustainability performance to win new business.
