Supplier LOCT

Supplier LOCT

The Meat Institute has partnered with Supplier LOCT (Supplier Leadership on Climate Transition), an online climate school managed by global consultancy Guidehouse.

Supplier LOCT consists of expert instructors who lead participants in a series of workshops on greenhouse gas (GHG) tracking, science-based target setting, abatement, and disclosure.

For Meat Institute members starting from square one on their climate journey to those seeking guidance at Scope 3 and achieving targets Supplier LOCT can help members at all stages.

The Meat Institute is subsidizing this educational opportunity for members to bring down enrollment costs for individual companies. This new benefit is part of the Meat Institute’s educational resources for members as they participate in the continuous improvement program in the Protein PACT.

This will help meet the member driven Protein PACT 2030 Environmental Goal/Aim: that 100% of members will have an approved Science Based Target to reduce emissions in line with the Paris Climate Agreement goals, which the U.S. signed.
