Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a key challenge for the sustainability of the broiler sector. Standardized carbon accounting tools can support farmers in identifying mitigation potential and implementing best practices. The QS Climate Platform enables poultry farmers to calculate their farm- and product-specific carbon footprint based on primary data on animal husbandry, feeding, energy use, and manure management.

Using a uniform and recognized methodology, the platform ensures reliable, comparable results across farms and along the supply chain. By providing benchmarking, transparency, and concrete guidance on emission reduction measures, the platform supports climate action while safeguarding competitiveness and market access for poultry producers.

In addition, centralized data storage reduces administrative effort and facilitates data sharing with processors, retailers, and financial institutions. As carbon data increasingly become a key business indicator, the platform helps farms prepare for future regulatory and market requirements. The voluntary and sector-driven approach strengthens acceptance among farmers and encourages broad participation.

Ultimately, the platform contributes to a more transparent, data-driven, and resilient poultry value chain. The System is free of charge for participants in the QS system.
