Last June 2022, IFS developed the IFS ESG Check, which helps to assess the sustainability status quo in a company and to systematically and efficiently implement ESG (environmental, social and governance) principles.

This self-assessment includes criteria for companies in environmental, social and governance matters, which will need to be addressed to guarantee our commitment to sustainability.

IFS ESG Check It has a basic module and an optional additional module.

  • Basic moduleIt focuses on registering a company's "sustainability management system". It has 11 requirements and 29 mandatory self-assessment questions.
  • Optional add-on module: allows companies evaluate your carbon footprint management system and determine its footprint. It has 6 requirements and 29 questions. For calculating the carbon footprint, IFS has created the ECOZOOM calculation tool, which is adapted to the food industry.

The IFS ESG Check It can be included in the IFS certification, as the module can be carried out on-site with Food or remotely with Broker and is applicable to both IFS-certified and non-certified companies. It will also be included in the integrity program.

All the info is on the official website of IFS.
