Following textiles and its previous CO₂ indicator, Carbon’Info, the French supermarket chain E.Leclerc is now providing a comprehensive environmental rating for 6,000 private-label food products.

From CO₂ to comprehensive impact measurement

The new indicator translates the ecological impact of products into a point score based on a life cycle analysis. This takes into account 16 criteria, including climate impact, water consumption, soil health, and biodiversity. Unlike the previous focus on CO₂, the model examines the entire supply chain, from production and processing to transportation.
