New paper published by INL e.V. and corsus: Planet Health Conformity Index (PHC)

7. January 2025/by Corsus

In order to make nutrition more sustainable, assessment approaches are needed that link health and the environment and evaluate them together. The Planet Health Conformity Index (PHC), which was developed as part of the CLIF – Climate Impacts of Food project, addresses precisely this issue. In contrast to mono-dimensional indicators such as the Nutri-Score (focus: health) or the Eco-Score (focus: environment), a key figure has been developed that can provide a clear orientation for health and environmental aspects. In addition, the newly developed PHC also takes planetary impact limits into account in the assessment. The PHC can therefore provide more orientation in the labelling jungle.
