AFFI's Industry Decarbonization Share Group: Leading the Way for Frozen Food
AFFI members can network with industry professionals in this share group, created to help companies navigate their transition to decarbonization through energy and GHG reductions. Under the umbrella of decarbonization as a pre-competitive goal, members openly share best practices and learnings related to measurement, setting goals, taking action and monitoring progress.
By participating in the Industry Decarbonization Share Group, companies gain access to:
- Relevant technical resources and tools
- Third party consultants
- Opportunities for peer-to-peer discussion
Share group members hold two key commitments:
- Have a goal, or commit to setting a goal, for GHG reduction within the next 12 months.
- Commit to an annual short survey on company progress toward setting and achieving GHG reduction goals.
