Companies to Leverage Data to Accelerate Blue
Apron’s Path Towards Net Zero
Blue Apron (NYSE: APRN) today announces a partnership with
Planet FWD, the leading carbon management platform for consumer
companies, as it continues to take actionable steps towards its
goal of net zero. Through this partnership, Blue Apron plans to
conduct a more thorough review of its Scope 3 emissions by
leveraging Planet FWD’s platform to measure, report and plan action
on its carbon footprint for its meal kits as well as company-wide
emissions. Blue Apron is the first meal-kit on the platform.
“Since our founding 10 years ago, Blue Apron has made it a
priority to help ensure we have a positive impact on the world and
the communities around us,” said Linda Findley, Blue Apron’s
President and Chief Executive Officer. “While mitigating our impact
on our climate has been a priority for us, over the past few years,
we’ve pushed that commitment further as we believe it is imperative
for us, now more than ever, to take action. Through this
partnership with Planet FWD, a leader in this space, we will have
the data to take our goal of net zero a step further.”
According to findings from Porter Novelli’s Focus: Business
Action for Climate Crisis from 2021, 80% of Americans believe
companies have a responsibility to help solve the climate crisis
and 75% want to hear more from companies on what they’re doing to
solve the climate crisis.
“Blue Apron is creating a blueprint for what it means to be a
climate-friendly meal-kit company. We’re proud to help Blue Apron’s
team further their climate impact goals and create a meaningful
example for change in their industry, supply chain and beyond,”
shared Julia Collins, Planet FWD’s Founder and Chief Executive
Officer.
Leveraging Planet FWD’s Life Cycle Analysis database, the
largest in market for agricultural products, this collaboration
furthers Blue Apron's commitment to responsible sourcing, and will
allow carbon impact data to inform future recipe creations and
