GNT Secures ISO-Verified Carbon Footprint Data for Its Plant-Based EXBERRY Colors

GNT, a supplier of EXBERRY plant-based colors, has secured ISO-verified carbon footprint data for its products. The company's cradle-to-gate approach for calculating the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) of each EXBERRY ingredient has been independently verified by TÜV SÜD against ISO 14067 standards. This data includes greenhouse gas emissions from farming, production, and transportation of the raw materials used in the colors, providing transparency for customers in sustainability reporting, purchasing decisions, and marketing materials.

In addition to the product-level verification, GNT already holds a corporate carbon footprint verification under the GHG Protocol, covering scopes 1 to 3 in its color production. The company's closely managed supply chain allows them to accurately account for emissions. GNT has received an EcoVadis Platinum award for sustainability performance and has been expanding its sourcing and production methods, including a partnership with Plume Biotechnology for fermentation-based colors. Akshat Rawat, Senior Sustainability Specialist at GNT, emphasizes their commitment to producing plant-based ingredients that contribute to a healthier future for both people and the planet.
