Clear, verifiable evidence of how suppliers set and achieve their targets is essential. Without easy access to that data, reporting on progress becomes a real challenge. The Origin Green initiative, launched by Bord Bia (the Irish food board), is the world’s only national food and drink sustainability programme. Since 2012, it has been collecting supplier-specific and aggregated industry data points across a diverse range of ESG metrics.
Over 350 Origin Green member companies have developed multi-year continuous improvement targets in areas such as raw material sourcing, emissions, packaging, and food waste, with annual performance against these targets reported and verified independently.
