Eaternity

Eaternity is a research and climate organization headquartered in Zürich, Switzerland.^[1] Their female founder Judith Ellens was awarded digital shapers 2022.^[2]

Eaternity has a focus on establishing a climate-friendly diet, which according to the Planetary health diet and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is a necessity to stay within a 1.5° target. For this purpose, Eaternity provides public and free access to the carbon footprints of food products with a calculator^[3][4] and a poster,^[5] each referencing the Global warming potential of more than 500 raw food products in CO₂eq against the benchmark of our societal food consumption. The climate impact is calculated with a Scope3 life-cycle assessment, including rainforest deforestation, methane emissions from ruminants, production, processing, packaging, transport, and preservation.

They have published CO₂ calculations of more than 50'000 food retail products together with the Codecheck App^[6][7] and advocate for CO₂ labeling of food.^[8]

With Eaternity's eco-label food companies profile the environmental footprint on their products' packaging visible in more than 10'000 retail markets across Europe.^[9][10][11] The label includes indicators for climate, water, animal welfare, and rainforest deforestation.
