The global food system contributes up to 37% of total annual emissions. Major food & beverage processing companies heavily contribute to food system emissions through their supply chains. Despite this, sector-specific analysis of the status and quality of scope 3 emissions for food & beverage processing companies is lacking. Using 2018 CDP data to build a sample of 153 companies, the authors describe the state of voluntary disclosure, particularly for scope 3, for food & beverage processing companies. Further, the paper investigated the effect of emissions performance, national environmental policy, international negotiation group, and primary activity on scope 3 disclosure. It also examined the effect of primary activity, scope 3 disclosure, and national environmental policy and international negotiation group on direct- and energy-related emissions performance. The authors found scope 3 disclosure in the food & beverage processing sector was incomplete and inconsistent. The 2018 Environmental Performance Index score and the international negotiating group of a company's headquarter country were significant predictors of scope 3 disclosure by category. Firm size (by revenue) was the only significant predictor of direct and energy-related (scopes 1 and 2) emissions, but was not correlated with improved emissions performance. The authors concluded with a set of recommendations to improve the availability and transparency of scope 3 emissions data, and invited further research into sector-specific scope 3 disclosure, performance, effect of firm size and climate policy at the national and international levels.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100255,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Production Letters","volume":"1 ","pages":"Article 100002"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666791621000026/pdfft?md5=f71bfeead4ecb15985772f1056550312&pid=1-s2.0-S2666791621000026-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82774522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the current research on materiality analysis and partner selection is still in the nascent stage of development. This paper contributes to understanding partner selection by corporates through an in-depth exploration of the business's selection of nonprofit organisation (NPO) partners, based on case study research of Northumbrian Water Ltd. (NWL), a UK private sector organisation providing water supply and sewerage services. Using the evidence from this study, we propose a framework for the selection of partners based on the prospective impact of cross-sector partnerships on material sustainability issues. Our paper also provides a useful toolkit for businesses to evaluate these prospective impacts. The framework demonstrates how materiality with respect to sustainability issues can be assessed both reactively and proactively, and how this assessment can better inform the partner selection process by corporates. This understanding of how materiality is assessed and partners are selected in practice is supported by a context specific exemplar and contributes to knowledge and practice of materiality analysis as well as cross-sector partnerships.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100255,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Production Letters","volume":"1 ","pages":"Article 100001"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666791621000014/pdfft?md5=e076b5ae5382a0562267f7c8e7e0f7be&pid=1-s2.0-S2666791621000014-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83429983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
