Scotland Food & Drink Partnership: Our Net Zero Commitment
We announced our Net Zero Commitment in November 2021 at COP26, and it sets out how our we will support the industry to meet its targets, by addressing the challenges and opportunities throughout the food and drink supply chain by a just transition to Net Zero.
We are here to build on the efforts already taken to maintain our high environmental standards and provide leadership, advice and guidance to food and drink businesses, wherever they are on their Net Zero journey.
Navigating Net Zero Handbook
To equip Scotland’s food and drink businesses with the tools to reduce their emissions in line with the national 2045 target, the Scotland Food & Drink Partnership’s Net Zero Commitment has launched a handbook to make sense of the technical language and jargon around sustainability.
