PRO Carbon Commodities is a solution to address the soy chain's challenges towards decarbonization. Through the program, the company offers a grain with a measured carbon footprint, as well as transparency and traceability of information.

Using a tool (calculator) co-developed with Embrapa and based on an internationally recognized methodology, Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), Bayer is able to measure the carbon footprint of soybean production on a large scale. The result of the calculation is in kg CO2 eq/ton of soybeans. To make the calculation, the company uses information available in an application/platform that groups the data and analyzes the entire soy production, transport and marketing process.

Project completion forecast: 2025/2026.

The program is carried out in areas free of deforestation in the last 10 years and all participating farmers have undergone training in order to guarantee socio-environmental compliance. In addition, these farmers have committed not to deforest the areas during the program. To generate the footprint, Bayer uses standards such as ISO 14040, ISO 14044, ISO 14067 and the GHG Protocol.
