The News
TraceGains announced the launch of Carbon Insights, a new capability designed to help food and beverage brands operationalize ESG compliance by embedding carbon intelligence directly into their supply chains. The tool uses data from DitchCarbon and Sustained to provide automated, item-level carbon intelligence for beer companies, helping them understand Scope 3 emissions and make sustainability-driven decisions.
The Takeaway
- Supply Chain Clarity: Beer brands using TraceGains can now see where their ingredients come from and how much carbon they emit, which helps them make better sustainability choices. This is important because beer suppliers often don't have full visibility beyond their direct vendors.
- Compliance Ease: By integrating Carbon Insights into their operations, breweries can automatically track emissions without extra work, making it easier to meet environmental regulations and consumer demands for transparency.
- Sustainability Integration: The new tool connects ingredient sourcing with packaging decisions, allowing beer companies to make more informed sustainability choices across the entire product lifecycle.
Original Press Release
TraceGains, the leading provider of compliance, quality, and innovation solutions for the food and beverage (F&B) industry, today announced the launch of Carbon Insights, a new capability designed to help brands operationalize ESG compliance by embedding carbon intelligence directly into their supply chains.
According to McKinsey, only 30% of companies have visibility beyond their direct suppliers, making it especially challenging for F&B brands to see beyond ingredient suppliers to the origin of production. Meanwhile, regulatory pressure and consumer demand for greater transparency is putting F&B companies under increasing strain to measure and report environmental impact, particularly across complex siloed supplier networks. Carbon Insights builds on TraceGains' robust supplier and ingredient data foundation to deliver automated, item-level carbon intelligence without adding manual burdens to already stretched teams.
Powered by industry-leading environmental intelligence from data partners DitchCarbon and Sustained, Carbon Insights brings trusted emissions data directly into the workflows where sourcing, formulation, and compliance decisions are made. This enables companies to better understand Scope 3 emissions, identify high-impact ingredients, and make informed, sustainability, driven decisions across the product lifecycle.
Building on Veralto's broader sustainability vision, Carbon Insights connects ingredient sourcing with packaging decisions - extending carbon visibility from source to shelf. In collaboration with Esko, TraceGains enables brands to align formulation and packaging to reduce environmental impact holistically and stay ahead of emerging regulations. Together, they help companies future-proof product development in an increasingly regulated, transparency-driven environment.
"Most environmental impact originates in the supply chain, yet many organizations are still relying on fragmented data and manual processes to understand it," said Emma Karp, Senior Product Manager, TraceGains. "With Carbon Insights, we're embedding carbon data directly into operational workflows, so teams can move faster, reduce risk, and make smarter decisions without wasting time chasing down data."
By integrating sustainability intelligence into its networked platform, TraceGains is helping companies move beyond static ESG reporting toward a more automated, compliant, and resilient supply chain. Rather than treating sustainability as a separate initiative, Carbon Insights cements it as a core aspect of how products are sourced, developed, and brought to market.
