Arizona Tribune - The Fresh Factory Partners with Planet FWD to Advance Carbon Management and Sustainability Initiatives

Through the collaboration, The Fresh Factory will utilize Planet FWD's advanced emissions tracking and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tools to more accurately measure and reduce its carbon footprint. The partnership also strengthens the Company's ability to support its growing roster of brand partners with actionable climate intelligence across their supply chains.

"We believe the future of food is fresh, clean-label, and climate-smart," said Bill Besenhofer, CEO and co-founder of The Fresh Factory. "Teaming up with Planet FWD helps us move faster and smarter toward building a more sustainable food system-for ourselves and for the brands we serve."

Planet FWD's proprietary platform provides companies with the tools to conduct comprehensive climate assessments, streamline emissions reporting, and implement science-based strategies to reduce environmental impact. These capabilities are increasingly vital as food companies double down on sustainability. As The Fresh Factory continues to expand its platform and partner network, this initiative reflects a broader strategy to integrate sustainability and transparency across all aspects of its operations and brand support services.
