Press Release: Iceland Foods Signs Agreement with edenseven to Accelerate their Decarbonisation

Press Release: 25/01/2024 - Iceland Foods Limited (Iceland), one of the UK's best known supermarket chains with almost 1000 locations, has signed a long-term agreement with edenseven, one of the Cambridge Management Consulting group of companies, to report and monitor all classes of emissions through their online carbon reporting and management platform, cero.earth.

Built by edenseven's in-house software engineers, cero.earth is a cloud-based carbon accounting and management platform that provides a complete view of a business' emissions and decarbonisation plan. Monitoring emissions across all three scopes, cero.earth gives a business a clear understanding of its current position against net zero targets, creates insights to identify areas where action is required, and uses the reporting functionality to help meet regulatory requirements.

Capturing data from all of Iceland's stores, food warehouses, distribution centres, and supply chain, cero.earth will help Iceland to report their Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, monitor their existing decarbonisation programmes, and build insight to create momentum across their whole portfolio and supply chain.

Pete Nisbet, Managing Partner of edenseven, said: "cero.earth has been built to give businesses like Iceland a resource which will help them make a material change to their overall emissions footprint and meet regulatory reporting requirements. With the seamless data input process, clear reporting functionality, and analytical support, cero.earth will free up Iceland's resources to focus on the deployment of programmes of work to deliver against their net zero ambitions."

Graham Ireland, Head of Energy and Mechanical Services at Iceland, said: "As a proud signatory of The Climate Pledge and with a target for our own operations and supply chain to be net zero by 2040, Iceland has a clear focus on emission reduction. At Iceland, we believe that every business has a responsibility to take action against climate change and reduce its carbon footprint. Using a resource like cero.earth will allow us to easily report on all 3 Scopes of emissions, enabling Iceland to achieve our targets through clear insight and easy project tracking, as well as helping to meet regulatory reporting requirements."
