Beyond Meat earns first-ever climate solution label for plant-based burgers

Beyond Meat has become the first plant-based meat brand to earn Clean Label Project Certification. The company's Beyond Burger and Beyond Steak have also been recognised as climate solutions under the Exponential Roadmap Initiative. This recognition highlights their lower environmental impact compared to traditional beef products. The certification applies to Beyond Burger IV and Beyond Steak, but only for products sold in the U.S. Their climate solution status remains valid until February 2027. According to data, a two-pack of Beyond Burger uses 97% less land and 92% less water than a standard U.S. beef patty. It also produces 88% fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

Beyond Meat's mission focuses on reducing climate change and conserving natural resources. The company claims its plant-based options generate at least 50% fewer emissions than the average beef product on the market. By encouraging a shift from animal to plant-based protein, the brand aims to benefit human health, the environment, and animal welfare. Under the slogan *Eat What You Love®*, Beyond Meat promotes choices that align with personal health and sustainability. The Clean Label Project Certification further reinforces its commitment to transparency and cleaner ingredients.

The recognition places Beyond Meat at the forefront of sustainable food production. Its products now stand out as the first plant-based meats officially labelled as climate solutions in the U.S. The company continues to push for wider adoption of plant-based diets to cut emissions and reduce resource strain.
