Carbon Labels That
Turn Climate Data
Into Customer Action.
Klimato’s carbon footprint labels on food make it easy to communicate climate impact, inspire sustainable choices, and strengthen your brand. Each food climate label translates complex CO₂ data into a clear, comparable score, helping your guests understand what’s on their plate and why it matters.
Simple, visual carbon footprint labels for food.
Show the CO₂ info on your menu with clear, color-coded labels that make sustainability visible without overwhelming your guests.
Each carbon label reflects the emissions generated per meal, measured in kilograms of CO₂e, based on a standardized 100g portion. This allows for fair comparison across dishes—no matter their size, cuisine, or concept.
Klimato’s climate labeling menu system is aligned with the Paris Agreement and the Coolfood initiative by WRI, ensuring your communication is grounded in science, not marketing claims.
A UNIVERSAL SCALE YOUR GUESTS CAN TRUST.
Meals are labeled from A (Very Low) to E (Very High) based on their carbon footprint per meal.
Our color-coded system connects your menu to climate goals everyone can understand:
Very low
< 0.4 kg CO₂e
In line with Paris Agreement (below 2°C)
Low
0.4–0.9 kg CO₂e
Aligned with 2030 targets & WRI Coolfood
Medium
0.9–1.8 kg CO₂e
≈ 2.5°C scenario
High
1.8–2.6 kg CO₂e
≈ 3°C scenario
Very High
≥ 2.6 kg CO₂e
> 3°C scenario
Transparency that builds trust and boosts revenue.
Today’s diners want climate information on the menu, not hidden in reports. Klimato’s carbon labeling software helps you meet that demand while improving your bottom line.
By adding carbon footprint labels to your menus, you:
• Show your sustainability commitment with science-backed data.
• Engage climate-conscious consumers and strengthen your brand.
• Increase sales by guiding diners toward plant-rich, low-emission dishes that often have higher margins.
Science you can serve
with confidence.
Every food climate label is powered by Klimato’s verified emission data and continuously updated databases, covering 4,000+ ingredients and 20,000 variations by production method and origin.
Our methodology aligns with the GHG Protocol, WRI, and IVL standards—the same foundation used across our Carbon Footprint Calculator and Reporting tools. This means your menu insights are always accurate, traceable, and compliant.

As a huge company with global scale, we need to lead the way with sustainability, because if we don't make changes, who will? So it's important to raise awareness about the climate, and it's also a business opportunity. The trend will go towards more vegetarian/flexitarian diets.
