Case Study – Apetito


Apetito is a leading supplier of frozen food and catering solutions providing hospital food, community
and care home meals and a private home delivery service.
We delivered the first ever assessment of the carbon emissions produced by Apetito’s entire supply chain
under the GHG protocol.
A full analysis of Apetito’s operations including advice on the top ten priorities to reduce the company’s
greenhouse gas emissions was provided.
We also developed a bespoke tool to help Apetito assess and reduce its future impact on global warming.

The Green House Gas (GHG) Protocol is the definitive international accounting tool for government
and business leaders to understand, quantify and manage green house gas emissions. This allows for a
company wide assessment and comparison of GHG emissions. To do this we can:
• Conduct an initial assessment of your organisation’s direct (scope 1) and indirect (scope 2 & 3) GHG
emissions
• Provide you with a framework to manage and reduce your GHG emissions
• Review and evaluate your emissions and targets on an annual basis
• Support the development of metrics and case studies for your annual report
