Meeting the Moment: New Solutions to Support GHG Reporting & EPR Compliance
At Measure to Improve, we’re pleased to announce two new solutions to further support sustainability in the fresh produce industry.
The pressure on fresh produce companies to track, report, and reduce their environmental impact has never been greater. Greenhouse gas disclosure requirements are tightening, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) packaging laws are spreading state by state, and buyers throughout the supply chain are asking harder questions and expecting documented answers.
Measure to Improve is responding. Our sustainability consulting firm, which works exclusively with the fresh produce industry, is pleased to announce the launch of two new Solutions: the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Solution and the EPR Readiness Solution.
Built for How Produce Companies Actually Work
What sets these new offerings apart is their specificity. At Measure to Improve, we didn't adapt a generic sustainability framework and apply it to agriculture, we built these Solutions from the ground up with produce operations in mind.
That matters in an industry where data is often siloed across growing, harvesting, packing, processing, and logistics teams. Knowing what to track is only half the challenge— knowing where that information lives inside a produce business is just as important.
About Our New GHG Inventory Solution
The Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) Inventory Solution helps companies build a credible, well-documented emissions inventory that can stand up to buyer requests, support sustainability reporting, and prepare for evolving climate disclosure requirements.
The emphasis here is on process, not just output. Our approach at MTI focuses on creating a structured, repeatable methodology, so emissions data isn't a one-time exercise but something companies can build on and improve year after year.
About Our New EPR Readiness Solution
EPR laws are reshaping how companies think about packaging. More states are implementing EPR programs that require producers to track packaging materials, register with Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs), and often pay fees tied to packaging volumes.
The EPR Readiness Solution helps produce companies get ahead of these obligations by understanding what information is required, where it lives within the organization, and how to prepare internal teams for ongoing reporting responsibilities. It's about turning a compliance burden into an organized, manageable process.
“We continue to grow our suite of Solutions as a reflection of the needs of the fresh produce industry. With more than 12 years of experience working alongside growers, packers, and shippers, we build Sustainable Solutions that help companies respond in a way that fits how their businesses operate and supports long-term decisions.”
— Nikki Cossio, CEO and Founder, Measure to Improve
The Trend Is Clear
Demands in the produce industry are accelerating as retailer expectations around sustainability disclosures are expanding, federal and state climate reporting frameworks continue to develop, and EPR packaging regulations are being adopted in more states each year.
For growers, packers, and shippers in the fresh produce space, the question is no longer whether to engage with these requirements, it’s how to do so efficiently and with confidence. Measure to Improve’s new Solutions are designed to make that possible.
