Our take

Food systems are responsible for over 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions. So it is crucial the industry addresses its environmental impact. Foodsteps is a food sustainability start-up that aims to allow food businesses to measure, reduce and communicate their environmental impact.

Foodsteps has developed a database that contains the environmental impact of more than 1,000 ingredients. Leveraging this, the company helps both brands and food service providers to calculate and communicate the footprint of menus and products.

The company's long-term goal is to make sustainability an easy choice for food businesses. To this end, its platform also enables companies to monitor reductions in emissions, set targets and print their own environmental labels. In 2024, Foodsteps was acquired by Registrar Corp, which sees it gain access to a global market of over 32,000 companies - a great chance to broaden its reach
