Measure to Improve Launches New Sustainability Solutions for Produce Industry
As sustainability expectations continue to intensify across the fresh produce supply chain, consulting firm Measure to Improve has introduced two new service offerings aimed at helping companies navigate greenhouse gas reporting and packaging compliance requirements.
The company announced the launch of its Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Solution and EPR Readiness Solution, both designed specifically for produce growers, packers and shippers facing increased regulatory and buyer-driven demands.
The new offerings come at a time when food companies are under mounting pressure to quantify emissions and comply with extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws, which are expanding at the state level. These regulations require companies to track packaging materials, register with producer responsibility organizations and, in many cases, pay fees tied to packaging volumes.
Measure to Improve noted its solutions are tailored to the operational realities of the produce sector, where data is often spread across multiple functions, from farming and harvesting to packing and distribution.
The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Solution is designed to help companies build structured and repeatable systems for tracking emissions. By creating a credible and well-documented inventory, companies can better respond to retailer requests, support sustainability reporting and prepare for future climate disclosure requirements.
Meanwhile, the EPR Readiness Solution focuses on helping organizations understand and prepare for evolving packaging regulations. The service guides companies in identifying necessary data, organizing internal information and establishing processes to meet reporting obligations.
“We continue to grow our suite of Solutions as a reflection of the needs of the fresh produce industry,” said Nikki Cossio, CEO and founder of Measure to Improve. “With more than 12 years of experience working alongside growers, packers and shippers, we build sustainable solutions that help companies respond in a way that fits how their businesses operate and supports long-term decisions.”
Measure to Improve works exclusively within the fresh produce sector, providing sustainability strategy and compliance support. Its approach centers on helping organizations organize data, develop internal systems and respond to evolving expectations with greater confidence.
Industry demand for greenhouse gas tracking and EPR compliance is expected to rise as retailer requirements expand and additional states adopt packaging regulations.
With the introduction of these new solutions, the company aims to position itself as a resource for produce businesses seeking practical ways to manage sustainability challenges while maintaining operational efficiency.
