Our methodology and impact
Low Emissions Meals
Our low-emissions meal criteria have been created and verified in partnership with Planet FWD, the leading climate management platform for consumer companies seeking to improve their environmental impact.
To create the low emissions selection from the CookUnity menu, we've chosen a representative sample of meals per category (beef, chicken, seafood, vegan, vegetarian, and dairy), and ran Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) to validate the impact of each category on the environment.
Low-emissions meals creation criteria
After assessing the carbon footprint of each category, tracing from cradle to grave emissions (taking into account ingredients, packaging, production, transportation, distribution and storage, consumer use, end of life, and production waste) we defined:
- Low-emissions meals at CookUnity have on average less than 1.9 kg CO2e.
- Ingredients excluded due to their impact: beef, lamb, poultry, pork and bacon, seafood, saffron, cheese > 8%, and rice.
LCA's verified by Planet FWD to define the low emissions meals criteria
These selections were made based on the LCAs of a sample of 40 meals conducted in partnership with Planet FWD. We verified 20 of the most representative meals from the sample and verified that they align with accounting methodologies as laid out in the GHG Protocol and ISO 14040/4.
