AI-powered Sustainability for the food industry

Spend less time on data, improve your resilience, and communicate your achievements.

Food companies know sustainability matters to their business.
Yet, most lack the tools to quantify, improve, and accelerate their sustainability efforts.

Sustainability teams are doing the work of entire departments

Usually with no more than two people and a spreadsheet.

Reporting eats up the available budget

SBTi, EUDR, CSRD, Ecovadis: frameworks all require different data, and it’s hard to find the synergy between your efforts.

Data collection becomes a second job

Data is spread across the organization and quality varies. Harmonization and cleaning is a tedious process.

Frequently asked questions

Can we start without primary supply chain data?
+

Yes. Where primary supplier data is unavailable, Spirefly draws on peer-reviewed industry databases — AgriBalyse for food and agricultural products, and ecoinvent for other inputs. For origins that can’t be directly traced, Spirefly uses trade flow models to estimate likely countries of origin. You start with what you have and refine over time.

Does Spirefly support SBTi FLAG targets?
+

Yes. FLAG (Forests, Land and Agriculture) is the SBTi framework for companies with significant land-use emissions. Spirefly has FLAG and non-FLAG emission splits built in, so land-use targets and fossil fuel targets are tracked separately — exactly as SBTi requires.

What environmental impacts does Spirefly measure?
+

Spirefly measures four impact categories using the ReCiPe 2016 LCIA methodology: carbon emissions, water use, land use, and pollution — specifically freshwater eutrophication and soil acidification. All four are calculated at the product and supply chain level.

What nature risks does Spirefly assess?
+

Spirefly calculates country- and crop-specific nature risk exposure across 15+ dimensions, including water availability, land degradation, deforestation, and biodiversity indicators. Risk data is drawn from SBTN, Trends.Earth, LandGriffon, and UNEP-WCMC.

How much internal resource does working with Spirefly require?
+

The main input is your supply chain data — ingredient lists, spend data, or supplier information. From there, most analytical work is handled by Spirefly; your team steers, reviews, and acts on the outputs. Spirefly has been successfully deployed in sustainability teams of 1–5 people.

How does supply chain data get into Spirefly?
+

Most clients start with data exports — a CSV from your ERP, a supplier spreadsheet, or spend data. Over time, Spirefly works toward a more integrated setup where data flows in directly through APIs.

Can we bring our own LCA data or product carbon footprints?
+

Yes. Spirefly accepts your own LCA data, supplier-level primary data, or existing product carbon footprints. Where primary data is unavailable, the platform fills in using industry databases. As your data improves, your baseline updates automatically.

How long does onboarding take?
+

Once your data is gathered, companies are up and running within one week. The onboarding session itself takes 30 minutes.
