Our sustainability framework.

FreshPantry is designed to make food activity, restocking and waste more visible. The starting point is a documented baseline and a clear distinction between measured activity, estimated emissions and comparison scenarios.

Food activity and Scope 3

Corporate-funded food purchases may contribute to purchased goods and services in a company’s Scope 3 inventory. Your reporting team should determine the appropriate boundary, category and treatment for each arrangement. Food factors should record their source, year, geography, ingredients, processing, packaging and coverage. Device electricity and relevant logistics must also be assessed within the appropriate boundary.

The GHG Protocol Scope 3 Standard is a reference for value-chain accounting. FreshPantry does not independently certify corporate compliance or provide assurance.

Avoided emissions are not carbon offsets

A comparison with individual food deliveries or a different menu is a scenario estimate. It is reported separately from a company’s emissions inventory. It does not create a certified carbon credit, remove an equivalent quantity of CO₂, or establish an automatic deduction from Scope 3 totals. See the GHG Protocol explanation of inventory and project accounting.

What the website estimator calculates

The default scenario uses 100 employees, RM 12 per day, four in-office days per week and four weeks per month, at 100% participation with one meal per office day.

• Monthly meals = employees × participation × in-office days × weeks.
• Subsidy budget = monthly meals × daily subsidy: RM 19,200 in the default scenario.
• Admin time = monthly meals × assumed 1.44 minutes ÷ 60: 38.4 hours.
• Avoided emissions scenario = monthly meals × assumed 0.20 kg CO₂e: 320 kg CO₂e.
• Car equivalent = scenario kg CO₂e ÷ (320/1,200), approximately 0.267 kg CO₂e/km: 1,200 km.
• Tree-year equivalent = scenario kg CO₂e ÷ assumed 22 kg CO₂/year: approximately 14.5 tree-years. This is a comparison with annual absorption, not monthly absorption, a tree-planting activity or an offset.
• Starting unit count = participating employees ÷ assumed 60 daily servings, rounded up: two units.

These example factors reproduce a planning scenario supplied for this website. They are not validated Malaysian lifecycle or equivalency factors. The calculator lets you change participation, month length, admin time, avoided-emissions assumptions and unit capacity. It excludes service fees, equipment, energy and tax. A full assessment can result in lower, zero or negative emissions savings.

Measure delivery and food waste in a pilot

Record actual route distances, vehicle type, delivery frequency, displaced journeys, food sold and food discarded. Consolidated delivery is an opportunity, not a guaranteed 70% reduction. Unsold food below 3% is a pilot target to validate, not an achieved result. Define the waste metric consistently, such as kilograms of unsold food divided by kilograms delivered.

Reporting that is useful to your team

The proposed reporting workflow combines dated activity records, factor provenance, boundary notes and reconciliation of exceptions. CSV/PDF exports, device data timeliness and integration are subject to the selected platform and service agreement. The sample dashboards on this site do not contain live operational data.

Disclosure requirements, implementation dates and transition reliefs depend on the organisation and applicable rules. Confirm your Bursa Malaysia, ISSB or other obligations with your reporting advisers; this website does not assert that every corporate must report every Scope 3 category.
