Satelligence and HowGood Partner to Deliver Actionable Procurement Intelligence for Food & Beverage Decarbonisation
Food and beverage companies can now leverage Satelligence’s Land Use Change (dLUC and jdLUC) data directly within HowGood’s platform to access higher-quality emission factors, enhance supplier risk profiling, and power data-driven climate action.
Precision Land Use Data for Real Climate Action
Land use change (LUC) is a major driver of Scope 3 emissions, but current reliance on coarse national averages often leads to imprecise footprints and misaligned investments. HowGood and Satelligence are partnering to embed spatially explicit direct and jurisdictional direct Land Use Change (dLUC and jdLUC) emission factors directly into the Latis platform. By integrating this satellite-verified data into HowGood’s database of 33 million+ ingredients, we replace generic estimates with localised metrics, providing the granularity needed for effective supply chain decarbonisation.
By embedding Satelligence’s jdLUC data directly into HowGood’s platform, we are bridging the gap between satellite observations and procurement decisions. Food and beverage brands now have the verified intelligence needed to profile supplier risk, calculate precise carbon footprints, and convert climate targets into measurable action.

Key Strategic Capabilities
This integration empowers food and beverage organizations to access satellite-verified sustainability metrics and unlock the following strategic advantages:
- Accurate Carbon Footprinting: Elevates Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) with precise, location- and commodity-specific LUC emission factors aligned with SBTi FLAG guidance and the GHG Protocol.
- Granular Impact Assessment: Replaces static global averages with accurate environmental impact metrics that reflect the actual land dynamics of specific sourcing regions.
- Supplier Risk Profiling: Maps localised land conversion and deforestation risks to evaluate supplier performance, identify high-emission supply sheds, and target interventions.
- Procurement Intelligence: Empowers sourcing teams with actionable “Nature intelligence” to select lower-carbon ingredients, optimise supply chains, and negotiate with data-backed confidence.
Better sourcing decisions start with truly understanding what is happening on the ground in your supply chain. With this partnership, bringing Satelligence’s land use data into HowGood’s platform, we will help more downstream companies access data that unlocks efficiencies and points to where to focus on risk and opportunities for climate action and investing in supply chain resilience.
