The secure way to accurately measure and share Product Carbon Footprints

SupplierConnect enables suppliers to effortlessly share primary data with their customers while ensuring data confidentiality. Suppliers can automatically calculate and receive direct visibility into the product carbon footprint (PCF) of their products, giving suppliers and customers a shared understanding of impact to more effectively partner and collaborate toward reduction.

SupplierConnect lowers the barriers of traditional data collection and meets suppliers wherever they are in their sustainability journey.

Why SupplierConnect is the preferred platform for sustainability data sharing in the food industry

Proprietary data is protected: The data that suppliers provide is not shared with their customers but only used to measure the impact of their products. Customers only see the impact assessments for the products they source from their suppliers.
Accuracy of emissions data: HowGood is the industry leader in measuring agricultural and food product emissions. This ensures that suppliers capture and reflect the true impact of their products.
No sustainability data required: PCFs are automatically calculated in the platform based on basic sourcing information that suppliers already have for their products.
Shared visibility and insights: Suppliers receive direct access to the platform and have the same view into their PCFs as customers, enabling more seamless collaboration on on joint reduction initiatives.
Flexibility to incorporate additional levels of data*: Suppliers have the option to submit as much information as they have on their products, including product LCAs or specific farm-level practices to continue to refine the PCF of their products.

* advanced levels of primary data integration may require a direct subscription to Latis

FAQs

Will my customers see my proprietary product data?

Your customer can't see your ingredient details - they can only see your product's impact assessment. HowGood does not share any of your proprietary information at the ingredient level with your customer, such as ingredient names, sourcing locations, standards or inclusion percentages.

How can I see if my product has been shared with my customer?

You can view the Sharing Status of your formula to see if it has been successfully submitted for sharing. The three sharing statuses are:

Not Shared
Submitted for Sharing (pending review by the HowGood team)

Can I edit my product?
