Reducing GHG Emissions and Operational Performance: A Strategic Lever for Exporting Companies

In a context of rising cost pressures and increasingly complex supply chains, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has become a strategic lever to improve the operational performance of food processing companies. In an article produced in partnership with Inno-centre, the results of a study conducted by Léger among 131 managers in the food processing sector are presented.

The survey reveals that exporting companies are further along in their initiatives, particularly in terms of carbon footprint assessments and process optimization, due to higher expectations from their international markets and partners.

The article highlights how investments in energy efficiency, clean technologies, and the optimization of transportation and packaging help both reduce the carbon footprint and strengthen international competitiveness, especially in markets where sustainability criteria are key.

To better understand the sector’s needs, a new Léger 2026 survey is currently underway. Companies are invited to take part in order to contribute to the evolution of practices and the development of high-performance solutions for the industry.
