You see in the table, there is a columns „weight“, „co2“ but also „improvement percentage“, „reduction value“ and „FoodUnit“. With these values you are also able to compare any foods within the categories we defined as another column (at the end of the excel).
This basically means, if you clients are interested and large amount of vegetables and fruits you purchase, you could provide them with the following numbers:
Weight ratio: Total amount of weight vegetable / Total amount of weight all purchases
- this should not be new, and something you probably already do
Food Ratio: Total amount of FoodUnit vegetable / Total amount of FoodUnit all purchases
- This would rate you vegetable against the actual amount of how people you feed. Tomatoes would be valued less, while avocado higher…
- This would allow you to make a statement like: Out 100 guests, we feed 40 people with just vegetables
CO2 rating: total amount of CO2 vegetable / total amount of FoodUnit vegetable
- It matters what kind of vegetables you purchase (some are higher, some lower in CO2), this value gives you a benchmark
- this benchmark allows you to again rate any vegetable you purchase within the category.
CO2 / kg: total amount of CO2 vegetable / total amount of weight vegetable
- this, I guess, is easier understand. Yet it is tricky and not useful as clear measurement because you can basically add „water“ everywhere and the ratio improves - even though this would explicitly not help anything to improve sustainability. Equally buying more tomatoes and salad would improve this ratio (which is mostly water).
CO2 Reduction: Total amount of "CO2 reduction value“ for vegetables
- This is how much CO2 you save with your vegetable purchase, buying more vegetables will make this number bigger
CO2 Reduction ratio: Total amount of "CO2 reduction value“ for vegetables / Total amount of DailyFoodUnit all purchases
- This is how much CO2 you save with your vegetable purchase per customer
- I guess this is the most tricky to understand, but might the most meaningful statistic you want to work with
- this is our favorite
