Winrock International worked with Griffith Foods, a U.S.-based, global developer and manufacturer of customized food ingredients, to coordinate a consolidated Science-Based Targets (SBTs) and Greenhouse Gas Protocol—aligned protocol for quantifying GHG emissions reductions and removals in agricultural raw materials. Winrock prepared a recommended approach to develop a GHG Outcome Quantification Protocol and accompanying guidance to support Griffith Foods in achieving its SBTs and net zero objectives as part of the company’s 2030 Aspirations. Winrock also provided technical support to ensure GHG outcomes from Griffith Foods’ projects can be tracked and integrated into Griffith Foods’ net zero SBT accounting.

The work was divided into three main areas, including:

  1. Developing a GHG Outcome Quantification Protocol to evaluate proposed GHG emissions mitigation projects within Griffith Foods’ supply chain. This protocol will be used to evaluate external projects, guide the monitoring, reporting and verification systems and tools used in projects led by Griffith Foods, and ensure consistent integration of results from both internal and external initiatives into the company’s SBT-aligned GHG inventory.
  2. Developing complementary technical and implementation guidance, including user guides and technical knowledge products to increase efficiency in implementation of the GHG Outcome Quantification Protocol.
  3. Providing technical advisory services and strategic support to Griffith Foods on critical topics related to GHG accounting and Griffith Foods’ SBTi and net zero commitments. These services aimed to build stakeholder understanding of guidance on GHG emissions accounting, alignment with standards, protocols and frameworks, and recommendations for data collection tools and MRV protocols.
