The Scotland Food & Drink Partnership’s Net Zero Commitment has launched a comprehensive guide for Scottish producers to help them align with their customers’ sustainability ambitions.
The guide, published today, is informed by ongoing engagement with UK national retailers and foodservice companies.
Priorities and goals vary between businesses but the research found that Science-Based Targets (SBT) are becoming the standard. To capitalise on lucrative retail and foodservice opportunities Scottish producers need to be ahead of the curve to help their customers reach their Net Zero ambitions.
The onus isn’t entirely on producers though. Many of the companies engaged while researching the guide highlighted their commitment to collaboration, particularly in simplifying sustainability reporting across the supply chain.

Iain Clunie, Director of the Net Zero Commitment Programme, said: “Navigating Net Zero can be challenging, especially for suppliers managing different sustainability expectations from retail and foodservice customers. Many of these customers have set ambitious targets, and understanding how they may impact your business is essential.
“Our new guide to customer expectations helps Scottish producers to understand their customers’ sustainability demands. Proactively meeting or exceeding these requirements will give Scottish producers a competitive advantage in an often challenging sales environment.”
