Climate Impact & Solution35%78

Does the core business genuinely avoid or reduce emissions, or build climate resilience? Share of revenue that is actually 'green'. Fossil-dependent models score low.

Independent EU-funded LCA (PLENITUDE project) confirms ~3 kg CO2eq/kg mycoprotein at gate, versus ~30–60 kg for beef and ~8 kg for pork, and a systematic review (Shahid et al. 2024) found mycoprotein's GHG emissions lower than even soy or pea protein; the zero-waste co-location with Cargill recycles fermentation by-products, further reducing footprint — but the LCA excludes downstream processing stages, and grain feedstock supply-chain emissions are a residual risk.

Decarbonization & Targets20%22

Credible, science-based targets (SBTi), a real net-zero plan with progress to date, and CDP disclosure — not just a dated press release.

No evidence of SBTi commitment or validated targets, no CDP disclosure, and no published net-zero roadmap with interim Scope 1/2/3 milestones; the only publicly stated 'target' is the aspirational production volume of 1 million tonnes by 2032, which is a growth target rather than an emissions reduction commitment.

ESG & Operations15%52

Operational footprint, labour and social practices, and governance quality across the company's own operations and supply chain.

Social LCA (PLENITUDE) shows positive local employment outcomes — 45 permanent jobs created in Sas van Gent with 90% local workforce, plans to grow to 100 jobs — and the EU Horizon 2020/CBE JU grant framework imposes governance oversight; however, no published sustainability report, no independent labour audit, no Board-level ESG committee disclosed, and governance is typical of a VC-backed scale-up with limited public accountability.

Transparency & Verification15%38

Quality of disclosure, independent third-party verification, and how much hard data backs the company's claims.

The headline '97% fewer CO2 emissions than beef' and '15x more efficient' claims are company-sourced and not independently verified at the corporate level; the PLENITUDE LCA is the only third-party quantified assessment and it was scoped to upstream/gate-to-gate only, excluding downstream processing; there is no annual sustainability report, no CDP response, and no third-party-verified GHG inventory published.

Integrity15%82

Controversies, litigation, pollution, fossil-fuel lobbying, conflict-zone involvement and governance scandals. Higher means cleaner.

No material controversies, litigation, regulatory sanctions, pollution incidents, fossil-fuel lobbying, or governance scandals identified in public records; the company is funded by credible climate-focused investors (World Fund, AXA Impact Fund – Climate & Biodiversity) and operates under EU research grant governance, providing modest additional integrity assurance.

Why it's on ClimateTicker

ENOUGH produces ABUNDA mycoprotein via continuous fermentation of fungi on grain sugars, a process independently LCA-assessed to emit ~3 kg CO2eq per kg of product — dramatically lower than beef (~30–60 kg) and substantially lower than pork (~8 kg), making the core business a genuine GHG displacement play. The emission-reduction case is credible and backed by an independent EU-funded LCA (PLENITUDE/CBE JU), though headline '97% fewer emissions than beef' marketing figures are self-reported comparisons that overstate the gap when downstream processing is included. The company has no publicly verifiable SBTi commitment, CDP disclosure, or B-Corp certification, leaving its own operational decarbonisation trajectory unaudited.

mitigationENOUGH is a B2B ingredient supplier that sells ABUNDA mycoprotein in bulk to food manufacturers (e.g. Unilever's Vegetarian Butcher, Plukon Food Group, M&S supply chain) from its 10,000–20,000 tonne/year fermentation plant co-located with Cargill in Sas van Gent, Netherlands; revenue is generated per tonne of ingredient delivered.

Controversy & Greenwashing Watch

lowUnverified headline emissions claims

ENOUGH's widely-cited '97% fewer CO2 emissions than beef' figure is self-reported and based on a partial-scope comparison; the independent PLENITUDE LCA yields ~3 kg CO2eq/kg (gate-to-gate), which is materially higher than the implied figure and excludes downstream processing, raising the risk of overstated environmental benefit in marketing materials.foodnavigator.com
