Planet-score, a clear and reliable eco-labelling scheme for food products

Planet-score rates food products according to the most important environmental criteria.  It helps brands and companies improve their recipes and sourcing and helps consumers make better choices between different food products. The score is calibrated using a scientific scoring system based on verified metrics and data from farm to the fork.

A 100% independent system

A scoring system created by scientists and NGOs

Independent researchers, scientists and experts from the food and agricultural sector, supported by food NGO’s, developed the Planet-score evaluation system. 

No industry ties and no public funding: Planet-score operates with full independence.

Independant control and governance

Everyone agrees that food and agriculture has a big planetary impact.  The problem is food companies and brands have vested interests and existing business to protect.  This does not lead to an objective approach.  Eco-labelling needs to be both robust and impartial. 

That’s’ why Planet-score is owned and governed by a not-for profit foundation - Solid Grounds Institute - and there are no commercial interests involved in its governance.

The Leading Label for Transparency on Food Products

Group 2490-1

Trusted by consumers

Recognised for its clarity and educational value for both consumers and companies, Planet-score takes the form of a straightforward, colour-coded label with no taboos. It highlights the key factors and major environmental issues related to food: pesticides, biodiversity, climate impact and rearing methods.

Beyond Carbon Accounting

Carbon accounting is all the rage, but focusing only on carbon can harm other environmental priorities, like biodiversity. LCA methods for living and renewable systems have serious flaws. Planet-score corrects these and delivers a true ecological assessment through clear, key indicators.

Product-based, with analysis downstream to the farm level

While designed with products as its main focus, Planet-score is adaptable to various levels of analysis. It can be applied to a production method, a farming system, an entire sector, or to individual products, dishes and menus.

We go beyond Carbon Accounting

Carbon accounting is all the rage but it poses three problems. 

  • As a consumer you need to be able to value farming systems within the same category – carrot versus carrot. This will help you choose the best carrot. LCA methodologies will not give you results with this type of precision. 
  • Second there are serious problems in the LCA methodologies and parameters used to evaluate carbon footprint in living or renewable systems, such as textiles and food. 
  • Third and most important is the problem of carbon tunnel vision: looking at carbon only, independently of other key environmental concerns, can lead to outcomes that are NOT better for the environment.This can be detrimental to biodiversity, for example.

Planet Score adjusts for methodological flaws and gives a real ecological value under key and easily recognised headings.
