Nature's Fynd

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.

Fy protein's internal LCA (SimaPro 9.1) claims 94% fewer GHGs and 99% less land and water use versus beef; fermentation avoids ruminant methane and land conversion, making the core product a credible emissions-avoidance play, but the LCA is company-commissioned and not yet independently peer-reviewed or validated at full commercial scale.

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

No SBTi-validated targets, no CDP disclosure, and no publicly available net-zero roadmap with milestones or interim progress metrics have been found; as a private VC-backed company it is not required to disclose, but the absence of any formal, quantified climate commitment leaves target credibility near zero.

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

Nature's Fynd holds FDA GRAS approval for Fy protein and has passed Health Canada novel food safety assessment, suggesting sound product safety governance; however, no public sustainability report, GHG inventory, labor/human rights policy, or board-level ESG governance framework has been identified, limiting scoring to the favorable product-level characteristics.

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

The sole quantitative environmental data publicly available is the internally commissioned SimaPro LCA cited in company materials and a peer-reviewed safety study; there is no annual sustainability report, independent third-party GHG audit, public ESG dashboard, or CDP response — disclosure quality is thin and unverified by any external body.

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

No material controversies, litigation, regulatory enforcement actions, fossil fuel lobbying, conflict-zone involvement, or governance scandals have been identified; the company has federal agency backing (NSF, USDA, EPA, NASA) and credible institutional investors, and contaminant testing for Fy protein showed adequate safety margins per Health Canada.
