The Soy Calculator
To gain a broader sense of a company’s exposure to soy, and therefore soy-related issues, Sustainability and Sourcing teams need to start by analysing the soy footprint of their supply chain to understand how much embedded soy is in a given product. For chicken, estimates range from 0.383 per kg of carcass weight (Consumer Good Forum, 2016) to 0.958 per kg (Profundo).
Proforest partnered with McDonald’s to help them develop their own Soy Calculator to answer these questions for their own chicken supply chain and to plan for further engagement with their suppliers.
