No — Huel does not currently claim to be climate neutral or net zero. Instead, Huel takes a science-based approach to managing its carbon impact.
What Huel Does Instead
Commitment | Detail |
1.5°C climate pathway alignment | Huel ensures its product carbon footprints are aligned with a 1.5°C climate pathway — the target set by the Paris Agreement to limit the most severe effects of climate change |
Carbon intensity target | Huel has set a carbon intensity target to minimise its impact as the business grows — meaning emissions are managed relative to the scale of production |
Why Not Claim Climate Neutral or Net Zero?
Many companies use terms like "climate neutral" or "net zero" based on carbon offsetting — purchasing credits to compensate for emissions rather than reducing them at source. Huel's approach focuses on actually reducing emissions across its supply chain and operations, rather than simply offsetting them.
This is considered a more credible and transparent approach to climate action.
The Bigger Picture
Huel's climate commitments sit alongside broader sustainability efforts including reducing water use, avoiding deforestation, eliminating palm oil, and building products around lower-impact plant-based ingredients.
