Most of the ingredient GHG impacts are driven by a few ingredients

16

Two ingredients drive 71% of impact; top 10 drive 92%

CONFIDENTIAL

Climate positive, Carbon positive, Carbon negative:• Removing more emissions, in addition to removal that would occur via natural carbon cycle, than generated

emissions, generally 10% more.

Science-Based Targets• Would require roughly a 50% GHG intensity reduction in Scope 3 emissions over five years

MegaFood is considering different climate targets

MegaFood is developing strategies to reduce these impacts

18

1. Replace rice with lower impact ingredient or lower impact rice

2. Reduce use of air to ship product

3. Evaluate lower impact packaging solution (e.g. refillable @ home, pouches, tin, plastic rather than glass & EOL)

4. Regenerative agriculture for high volume/important ingredients

5. Move to 100% renewable energy

Appendix

There are a host of tools to help companies assess their climate impacts
