In celebration of Earth Week, Schreiber Foods announced a forward purchase of carbon credits from Brightly, a climate-tech company transforming food waste into carbon assets. 

These credits are generated from avoided food loss and waste, representing an innovative approach to reducing methane emissions while addressing hunger across the United States, Brightly said.

“At Schreiber, we believe in doing good through food,” said Ron Dunford, president and CEO of Schreiber Foods. “Brightly’s credits allow us to support meaningful climate action while helping to reduce food insecurity across the country. We’re proud to back a project that reflects both our values and our commitment to making a measurable difference beyond our direct operations.”

Brightly works in partnership with nonprofit food rescue organizations to measure and verify the environmental impact of recovered food, using proprietary technology and data to quantify avoided methane emissions. “We’re thrilled to partner with Schreiber Foods — a company that leads with purpose and embraces innovation,” said Andy Levitt, founder and CEO of Brightly. “This purchase sends a clear signal to the market: we can tackle food insecurity and climate change together, and companies across the food system have a powerful role to play.”

The announcement comes as part of Schreiber’s broader Earth Week celebration, which includes employee volunteer events at local food pantries and a lunch-and-learn seminar focused on food waste reduction strategies that can be applied at home.

“Earth Week is a special time at Schreiber,” said Emily King, sustainability specialist at Schreiber Foods. “We’re proud to support Brightly’s innovative work at the intersection of food and climate. These credits reflect our values and help us demonstrate what responsible leadership looks like in today’s food system.
