Your sustainability data, current all year, not once a year.

The problem

Your sustainability data is pulled together once a year from spreadsheets and questionnaires. It arrives late, sits apart from the supplier and product records it should inform, and leaves your claims hard to back up when a customer or regulator asks.

The solution

Hold your ESG, welfare and regulatory data against the supplier and specification records it belongs to. It informs buying decisions all year, and the evidence behind every claim is in one place.

FAQs

Will suppliers provide the data?

Suppliers keep their information in one place and answer once, and gaps and late responses are flagged automatically.

What is sustainability and ESG software for food businesses?

Sustainability and ESG software for food businesses collects environmental, animal welfare and other sustainability data from the supply chain and turns it into scores, benchmarks and reports. Foods Connected holds that data against the same supplier and specification records already managed, so it informs buying and product decisions as well as reporting.

Which frameworks and regulations does Foods Connected support?

Reporting can follow the regulatory and benchmark frameworks relevant to each business, with BBFAW-aligned animal welfare metrics captured and deforestation due-diligence data structured. The right set is confirmed for each business during onboarding.

How does Foods Connected help with deforestation data?

Origin data, risk assessments and geolocation evidence are collected from suppliers and held against each supplier record, with gaps flagged early. Reporting starts from data already held.

How does Foods Connected track animal welfare data?

Welfare data and standards, including BBFAW-aligned metrics, are held alongside each supplier's approval and audit records, so trends are reported across the supply chain and the suppliers that need review stand out.

How long does implementation take?

It depends on how many suppliers and facilities are involved and how much existing data is brought across. The Foods Connected team plans the rollout with the customer and supports each step.

Does it work with existing systems?

Foods Connected is ISO 27001 certified and built to connect with existing systems. The platform is integration-agnostic, with a proven integration to SAP.

Can templates be built without IT resource?

Yes. The form builder lets teams build and change their own data requests and workflows without IT resource or a ticket.
