Quantified. Auditable. Investable. Our ESG performance is not a marketing exercise — it is a documented, measurable contribution to the global sustainability agenda.
Sam Preservation's operations directly address five of the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals — providing a clear, auditable framework for ESG-aligned capital allocation.
By extending the viable transport window for nutrient-dense perishables, our technology directly contributes to food availability in underserved markets. Preserved logistics = distributed nutrition.
Reduction of mycotoxin contamination and microbial load in preserved produce translates directly into safer food — a critical intervention in markets where food safety infrastructure is nascent.
Our technology is the definition of SDG 12 in action: reducing the resource footprint per unit of food consumed by maximising the proportion of harvested product that reaches consumption.
Food system emissions represent 8–10% of the global GHG total (IPCC AR6, 2022). Shelf-life extension directly reduces the embedded carbon of food loss — each tonne preserved represents a measurable unit of atmospheric protection.
Our open collaboration model — structured to engage institutional research, NGO logistics networks, and development finance institutions — operationalises the multi-stakeholder mandate of SDG 17.
Category-specific spoilage rate baselines are established using FAO and World Resources Institute supply chain loss data, segmented by commodity, climate zone, and logistics tier.
Each commodity category is assigned a CO₂-equivalent emissions factor covering: agricultural production (land use, fertiliser, water), transport, cold-chain energy, and packaging — per the GHG Protocol Product Standard.
Validated shelf-life extension data from controlled trials is applied to the baseline spoilage model. The delta — the food preserved that would have been wasted — generates the primary carbon saving metric.
All carbon impact calculations are submitted for third-party verification against the ISO 14064-3 standard, with results published in our annual ESG Disclosure Report available in the Investor Data Room.
Data Note: All aggregate impact figures presented on this page represent modelled projections based on validated efficacy data applied to FAO global food loss statistics. Figures are clearly distinguished between field-validated efficacy data and market-scale projections. Full methodology documentation is available in the Investor Data Room.
