Meeting Minutes: Snack Food Sustainability Scorecard

Sustainability Scorecard for Meeting Snacks 2023

Methodology:

Using a proprietary algorithm, we calculate our Snack Food Sustainability Score by weighing the following criteria:

Carbon Footprint (30%): How much CO2 was produced during snack production, transportation, and disposal.
Water Usage (20%): How many liters of water were used in snack production, packaging, and processing.
Resource Efficiency (30%): How effectively the snack food industry uses renewable resources like corn, soy, and sugar.
Supply Chain Transparency (20%): How clearly the snack food industry discloses its supply chain, sourcing, and manufacturing practices.

Current Score: 42/100

Breakdown of scores:

Corn Chips: 8/10 (High carbon footprint due to palm oil sourcing)
Pretzel Bites: 9/10 (Low water usage due to minimal packaging)
Popcorn Kernels: 6/10 (High water usage during processing, but good resource efficiency due to locally sourced corn)
Crackers: 4/10 (Poor supply chain transparency due to lack of labeling)
