The partnership gives food and agriculture companies a complete, audit-ready path from ingredient-level emissions data to Scope 3 reporting, supplier engagement, and business advantage
Paris & New York – June 3 2026 – Sweep, the AI-powered sustainability intelligence platform, and HowGood, the world’s leading product carbon footprint automation company, have announced a partnership to connect product-level emissions data with enterprise sustainability reporting for food and agriculture companies.
Under the agreement, HowGood’s database, which covers more than 12 million product carbon footprints across food and agricultural supply chains, will be integrated directly into Sweep’s platform. The integration allows companies to use ingredient- and product-level emissions data for Scope 3 carbon accounting, supplier engagement and regulatory reporting, without manually transferring data between systems.
The announcement comes as food and agriculture companies face mounting pressure to report emissions with greater specificity. California’s climate disclosure laws SB 253 and SB 261 require large companies operating in the state to report Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. CSRD obligations are also extending to the US subsidiaries of European multinationals. For food companies, where a single product can involve dozens of ingredients from multiple suppliers and countries of origin, meeting that standard with generic industry averages is increasingly difficult.
The partnership supports three levels of reporting maturity:
- standard food-specific emissions factors,
- custom calculations based on a company’s own product and sourcing data,
- and primary-data calculations built from direct supplier inputs and agricultural practices.
F&B (food & beverage) industry leaders like Ahold Delhaize, Danone and Ferrero rely on HowGood for granular product carbon footprinting and Scope 3 emissions reporting. Sweep serves enterprise customers including L’Oréal, Crocs, and major international food producers including Bonduelle, Lactalis and Neuhaus. The partnership opens both networks to a combined offering which is purpose-built for the food and agriculture sector.
Sweep’s CEO and cofounder Rachel Delacour said:
“Food companies sit on some of the most complex sustainability data in any industry, and too often it stays locked in spreadsheets and disconnected systems, too fragmented to report on with confidence. By bringing HowGood’s world-class product-level data directly into Sweep, we’re giving food and agriculture companies what they’ve been missing: a single, audit-ready foundation they can use across every framework they report to, and every decision they need to make.”
HowGood’s CEO Alexander Gillet said:
“Generic industry averages have long been the weakest link in corporate carbon accounting for food companies, introducing uncertainty that keeps companies from being able to bridge the gap from reporting to reduction. By bringing HowGood’s granular emissions data directly into Sweep’s reporting infrastructure, we’re replacing that uncertainty with auditable and actionable numbers that reflect how a company actually sources and manufactures. And for our existing customers, this partnership means they can now move seamlessly from product-level carbon footprinting all the way through to corporate disclosures, without the data ever leaving a single connected system. That kind of end-to-end interoperability is what turns sustainability data into a genuine business asset.”
