Oatly Becomes ‘First’ Food Brand To Quality As ‘Climate Solutions Company’

Oatly has become the first food brand to qualify as a "Climate Solutions Company" due to its updated sustainability commitments. The company must make 90 percent of its revenue from climate solutions, work to transform the sector, and have clear emissions targets that are disclosed annually. Oatly's new plan includes emissions reduction targets, as well as goals for nature, people, and nutrition. They are pioneering a new way to measure and report their contributions to societal net-zero.

Oatly's status as a Climate Solutions Company recognizes the brand's role in encouraging consumers to move away from dairy products, reducing their impact. The company's popular Barista oat milk has a significantly lower climate impact compared to cow's milk, making it a sustainable choice. The Exponential Roadmap Initiative, which is recognizing Oatly for their efforts, emphasizes the importance of companies delivering low-emission alternatives to conventional products to shift the global economy towards more sustainable practices.
