2023 Tracking Progress Annual Report
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Climate Collaborative's Tracking Progress 2023 Annual Report summarizes the results of the Tracking Progress Survey, an annual assessment of how companies have made progress on their climate action commitments over the previous year (2022). The data gathered and shared is essential to the Collaborative and our broader community as we collaborate to develop and implement climate solutions. The survey also provides valuable insights into barriers to action and broader industry trends, which we use to inform our work and support companies in meeting their climate goals. At the time of this report, 769 companies have made more than 2,847 climate commitments through the Climate Collaborative. This year’s report reflects responses from 154 organizations encompassing 515 climate action commitments.
Limited Time Left: Pre-register for the Organic and Regenerative Transition CoP!
Pre-registration for the Organic and Regenerative Transition Community of Practice (CoP) is underway. This tailored, year-long cohort is set to commence in November.
Food Waste Resources
Creating a food system that works in support of the climate and our communities necessitates that we address the massive amount of food waste that is currently being produced. The Climate Collaborative is excited to share the following resources to help accelerate our food waste commitment.
Food Waste Leader Profile: Organically Grown Company
According to ReFED, 38% of all food in the United States goes unsold or uneaten. Not only does this waste represent a missed opportunity to feed those in need, but it also has severe environmental repercussions. Food waste is responsible for nearly 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions, making it a significant contributor to climate change.
Climate Collaborative & UNFI Launch Three Case Studies In Support of Forest Action
In partnership with United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI), the Climate Collaborative is thrilled to share three case studies focused on the forest action efforts of Nature's Path, Traditional Medicinals, and Tony's Chocolonely. UNFI and the Climate Collaborative are deeply committed to accelerating the efforts of the grocery industry to stop deforestation and forest degradation, and to support reforestation efforts. According to the IPCC, “reducing deforestation and forest degradation rates represents one of the most effective and robust options for climate change mitigation, with large mitigation benefits globally.” Forests and climate change are deeply connected, as forest loss and degradation are both a cause and effect of climate change.
"Our hope is to inspire and inform company action by sharing the pioneering work of Nature's Path, Traditional Medicinals, and Tony's Chocolonely in support of forests and the communities that depend on them. Eliminating deforestation and forest degradation is absolutely critical in our fight against climate change" says Courtney Pineau, Executive Director of the Climate Collaborative.
