Sustainability for Consumer Goods
For food, beverage, household, personal care and apparel brands — tackle Scope 3 from farm to shelf, report under state packaging EPR laws and keep green claims defensible.

Scope 1, 2 & 3
Overview
For consumer goods companies the footprint is overwhelmingly in the value chain: CDP's 2021 supply chain analysis found supply chain emissions average 11.4 times companies' operational emissions. For food, beverage, household, personal care and apparel brands, that means farmed commodities, ingredients, packaging, co-manufacturers and logistics.
ClimeUp brings corporate and product carbon, SKU-level packaging data for state EPR laws, and the evidence behind on-pack and marketing claims into one place, so sustainability, regulatory and brand teams work from the same numbers that retailers, investors and regulators see.
Scope 3 from farm to shelf
Purchased goods — especially agricultural commodities — drive the bulk of most brands' emissions, and major retailers ask suppliers to set targets and report progress. ClimeUp makes it measurable.
FLAG-aligned accounting
Separate land-based emissions and removals from energy and industrial emissions, in line with SBTi FLAG guidance.
Retailer & investor requests
Answer retailer programs such as Walmart's Project Gigaton and CDP supply chain requests, and roll supplier data into your own Scope 3.
Packaging EPR has arrived
Seven states — Maine, Oregon, Colorado, California, Minnesota, Maryland and Washington — have enacted packaging EPR laws. Oregon producers already pay fees, Colorado's invoices began in January 2026, and the others follow through about 2030, each with its own rules.
Packaging data by SKU
Capture material, weight, recycled content and recyclability for every component, then report by state and producer responsibility organization.
Fee & design modelling
Model eco-modulated fees and the carbon impact of lightweighting, recycled content or material switches before you change a pack.
Claims that hold up
Greenwashing exposure is rising: the FTC Green Guides, California's AB 1305 disclosure rules for carbon-neutral and net-zero claims, SB 343's limits on recyclability claims (currently paused by a July 2026 preliminary injunction) and consumer class actions. Forced-labor enforcement under the UFLPA adds supply-chain risk.
Claim substantiation
Link every carbon, recycled-content and recyclability claim to its calculation and evidence, ready for legal review.
Forced-labor due diligence
Map supplier tiers for UFLPA high-priority sectors — including cotton, tomatoes, aluminum, PVC and seafood — and assemble traceability evidence for CBP.

Frameworks & Standards
ClimeUp keeps you aligned with the standards your auditors, investors and regulators expect.
Frequently asked questions
Seven states have enacted packaging EPR: Maine, Oregon, Colorado, California, Minnesota, Maryland and Washington. Oregon producers have already been invoiced, Colorado's first invoices began January 1, 2026, California payments are expected from 2027, Maryland's from around 2028 and Minnesota's by February 2029, with Washington's program starting around 2030. ClimeUp keeps SKU-level packaging data ready for each state's reporting.
ClimeUp separates land-based emissions and removals — land-use change, fertilizer, livestock and soil carbon — from energy and industrial emissions, so you can set and track SBTi FLAG targets alongside your energy and industry targets.
SB 343 limits the chasing-arrows symbol and 'recyclable' claims to materials that meet CalRecycle's 60% access-and-recycling test. Its compliance date was October 4, 2026, but a federal court issued a preliminary injunction on July 15, 2026 blocking enforcement while the case proceeds. ClimeUp keeps the recyclability data per component so you're ready whichever way it lands.
Yes. Every carbon, recycled-content and recyclability figure is traceable to its source data and method, giving legal and marketing teams the evidence the FTC Green Guides and California's AB 1305 (in force since January 1, 2024) expect. It supports legal review rather than replacing it.
