Emission Factor Audit


Latis users can now view the data quality behind any product’s emission factor. From a product profile page, click the three dots in the top right and select Emission Factor Audit to see:

  • Data Quality Scores: the quality of the data behind the emission factor

  • Vendor Submission Details: the submission method and date, if a supplier provided data

  • Documents: any LCAs submitted by the supplier for that product

  • Recommendations: guidance from our research team on improving data quality, where available

Custom Manufacturing Data


Latis and SupplierConnect users can now add their own facility data for a more precise product footprint. On any product or material, go to Manufacturing, toggle to Custom, and click Add facility data. From there you can enter your facility’s location, total annual production volume, and year, plus as many energy and resource inputs as you need (e.g., grid electricity, solar, natural gas, water).

Wildcard Filtering


Product and Material list views in Latis now support wildcard filters. Use * to match a group of tags with a single pattern. For example, filtering on Category: * returns every product with a Category tag, whether it’s Category: Snacks or Category: Frozen Food. New tags that match the pattern are picked up automatically, so you don’t have to update your filters.

Supplier Reduction Strategies


SupplierConnect users can now share the practices they’re using to reduce emissions. On the new Reduction Strategies page, suppliers can browse a library of reduction levers organized by category (e.g., Agriculture, Livestock), select the ones that apply to their operations, and share them directly with their customers.

This gives Latis users structured, comparable insight into what their suppliers are doing to reduce emissions, which supports more informed reduction planning.

Nested Materials in SupplierConnect


SupplierConnect users can now create materials in My Materials and nest them within a requested product. If a product is made across multiple plants or sourced from multiple locations, suppliers can build a separate material for each version and nest them all under the one requested product.

This gives Latis users a more complete and accurate picture of what goes into the products they buy. It is especially useful for food and packaging suppliers with multi-plant or multi-origin supply chains.

Supplier Engagement Tracking


We’ve enhanced our supplier engagement tracking with new vendor-level statuses and detailed product-level drill downs, giving Latis users clear visibility into campaign progress—from request to vendor-verified footprints.

To enable our users to more easily monitor the status of supplier engagement campaigns, we’ve released 5 new status’ at the vendor level. To maximize the collection of supplier provided data, we enabled product-level tracking to drill down and understand which products need additional action from your suppliers. Learn how to track supplier engagement in Latis here.

Metric Overrides with Third-Party Data


Latis users now have the ability to upload third party emissions data and override any metric, including any sub-metrics within the carbon life cycle (ie: cradle-to-farm-gate or processing), and any non-carbon metrics (ie: water footprint).

This update enables Latis users to view their own data, their supplier's data, and HowGood's emission factors side by side all in one place.

For any questions about metric overrides, reach out your CSM, email [email protected], or use the in-app chat.

Carbon Trust Certification Expansion (Cradle-to-Grave)


As of December 2025, HowGood’s methodology has achieved a significant expansion of its certification by the Carbon Trust. Our product carbon footprinting methodology is now certified by the Carbon Trust from Cradle-to-Grave, moving beyond the previous Cradle-to-Gate certification.

SupplierConnect Certification Upload


SupplierConnect users can now upload certification files (example: RSPO) for each of their products.

12/15/2025

Carbon Footprint per Unit


Our new metric 'Carbon Footprint per Unit' is now available for Latis users! This demonstrates the cradle-to-manufacturing gate footprint per unit (ie: per soup can instead of per kg of soup).

11/2/2025

Advanced Filtering & Saved Search


Latis users can now use improved filtering functionality in the "Products" or "Materials" section to stack multiple conditions (e.g., Vendor AND Tags) and save complex filter sets as a custom view for quick access.

PACT Conformance for Product Carbon Footprints


HowGood's 3.98 million Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) are now aligned with the PACT (Partnership for Carbon Transparency) Technical Specifications, making our data the new standard for consistent, verified, and interoperable carbon sharing across the food supply chain.

Learn more about how HowGood’s PCF database immediately elevates and operationalizes PACT, effectively transforming the global standard into the food industry’s common language for carbon data.

Global Carbon Database (GCD)


We've launched a new, plug-and-play Global Carbon Database (GCD), offering thousands of audit-ready, food-specific emission factors for immediate carbon accounting, compliant with GHG Protocol, ISO 14067, and PACT.

Learn more about how GCD gives food companies immediate access to reliable baseline emissions data for carbon accounting, regulatory reporting, and carbon reduction planning.
