Sector net-zero pathway· manufacturing food beverages

Industry-level decarbonisation context — not this firm's own commitment. Shows how the wider sector needs to evolve for individual SME targets to be achievable.

Food & beverage SMEs typically have low Scope 1+2 (electricity-driven processing) but high Scope 3 from agricultural inputs. Power-grid decarbonisation does most of the lifting on direct emissions; methane reductions matter for dairy/livestock supply chains.
