ECO-SCORE® by Beelong

Our mission

Our mission is to promote transparency within the food market and convey the impact of food on the planet, in order to support restaurant owners, consumers and the food industry and forge towards the most sustainable food.

In 2050 there will be nearly 10 billion mouths to feed on the planet. Food is already responsible for a third of environmental damage and the way we pollute and deplete the earth's resources cannot last. Whether it is during the production of food, its transport, its conservation or its transformation, the ecological impact of food is even greater than the one of transport. We must therefore act and consume more sustainably.

But to consume more sustainably, you still need access to product information. And deal with the great lack of transparency in the food market. This is why Beelong evaluates all food products in a simple way and on the same scale from A+ to E-, by bringing together the information available both in the field and from the scientific community.

Knowing the environmental impact of your food has never been so easy

Tired of having to read complicated food labels? Would you like to be able to compare different brands to see their impact on the environment?

ECO-SCORE® by Beelong simply informs you about the environmental impact of food products in order to help you reduce it. And this with pragmatism, using current scientific data and information available on the market.

A constantly evolving methodology

The ECO-SCORE® by Beelong methodology and the above criteria have undergone several scientific revisions. It is constantly evolving as scientific knowledge and access to field data evolves. Version v.8 is the most current (2024).

ECO-SCORE® by Beelong propose une analyse de cycle de vie (ACV) du champ au rayon. Celle-ci se base sur les données de la World Food Database, Ecoinvent et Agribalyse, ainsi que sur les données réelles collectées sur les produits alimentaires (composition, modes de production, distances parcourues, etc.). 

In addition, it allows the integration of parameters not usually considered in LCAs, such as the valuation of biodiversity and animal welfare.
