Carbon footprinting - Muntons low carbon malt pledge
Global warming is an inescapable feature of our future.  Sometimes it might seem impossible to reduce our carbon emissions to the levels suggested by climate experts. However, if businesses consider their own sectors in isolation as we have for the malt supply chain there are some attractive possibilities whereby working with the supply chain we can act together to reduce carbon footprint. Muntons has made a significant pledge that all of its malt will be low carbon within 5 years.

Why Muntons thinks being green is good for business 
Muntons is a business committed to influencing its supply chain to save carbon and reduce cost. In this way we make a much more significant difference than acting alone. This approach reduces cost in the supply chain and reduces our combined environmental impact considerably. We are proud to have had our leadership in this field recognised for the past four years by being a Sunday Times Best Green Company.

This calculator has been designed with the help of the Centre for Low Carbon Futures and Stockholm Environment Institute and is based on the ECOINVENT database. From that work Muntons have simplified the very detailed analysis of farming activities into 9 key questions. By entering your own data you can see the impact of key activities and outputs such as yield, reducing nitrogen fertiliser application, substitution with food safe compost and the very significant impact of sourcing your inorganic fertiliser from a carbon efficient manufacturer. If you have further questions on how to reduce the carbon intensity of farming please contact Dr. Nigel Davies.
