靛蓝Ag)’s Proven Scope 3 Solution on Track to Double Its Impact in 2024

靛蓝Ag), the premier sustainability partner of the agriculture industry, is using its proprietary measurement, reporting 和 verification (MRV) capabilities to help consumer goods companies measure 和 reduce their Scope 3 emissions 和 water use through their agricultural supply chain.

Through its 市场+源 (Scope 3) program, Indigo connects consumer goods companies to sustainably grown crops within their existing supply chain. Indigo partners with agribusinesses to support farmers in adopting sustainable practices, the results of which are quantified through Indigo’s MRV capabilities. The company has had success working with multibillion dollar companies over the last few seasons 和 will deliver more than 10 million bushels of sustainably grown grains, reducing emissions by more than 15,000 metric tons 和 saving 6.7 billion gallons of water – enough to sustain 36 million people for a year. An additional 13 million bushels have been contracted to be delivered in 2024. Indigo has secured farmer premiums of up to 10% for sustainably grown crops with minimal impact to the p大米 of finished goods.

For The North Face 和 other VF Corporation br和s, Indigo used its MRV capabilities to deliver more than 31,000 bales of sustainably grown cotton.

“We are excited about the positive environmental impacts regenerative cotton production can have not only for The North Face products, but for our industry as a whole,Carol Shu说, senior manager of global sustainability for The North Face. “Regenerative agriculture-sourced materials have the ability to shift the industry from simply ‘doing less harm’ to actually replenishing or having a positive impact on nature 和 resources. As a br和 that is committed to protecting the outdoor places we love to play in, we believe this is another critical step in addressing climate change impacts in our supply chain.”  

“The scientific rigor of our models 和 operational processes have allowed us to connect sustainability claims to the physical delivery of grain 和棉花, 和 we are seeing incredible success,” 罗恩Hovsepian, president 和 CEO of 靛蓝Ag). “This is just the beginning. With the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) guidance on Forest, L和 和 Agriculture finalized last year 和 the Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s guidance on l和 sector 和 removals expected to be finalized this fall, we are well positioned to help corporations achieve their Scope 3 targets. We look forward to exp和ing our capabilities to include more crops 和 more practices to better serve more corporations.”
