About
Asahi
Most of a global brewer's footprint lies on the farms that grow its barley. Asahi, Boolah Group and Downforce measured it using a methodology that delivers verifiable, audit-ready evidence for sustainability claims.

challenges
Proving what they already knew.
Most of a beverage company's emissions are Scope 3, which makes them the hardest part to measure consistently. For beer, barley is one of the biggest single variables.

On-farm reality, in a reportable form
Getting this right means understanding what happens on farm, from inputs through soil health to yield, in a form that holds up to reporting standards.

Our response
The verified data beneath it all
Downforce measured emissions through Australia's GAFF tool and soil carbon removals by fusing ground-based data with earth observation, tracked annually. The results were audited under ISO 14064 by SGS to produce a net-zero carbon report.

One record, three roles
Boolah connects sustainably grown, low-emission, traceable barley to customers; Regen4real provides the sustainability framework and how to interpret it across complex farming systems; Asahi uses the data to inform sustainability decision-making and to report on Scope 3 emissions, all from the one verified record Downforce provides.

A continuous record, year on year
A continuous record traces whether soil carbon is gaining, holding or losing, year on year, across every farm.

customer perspective
Regen4real was built to bridge the gap between what happens on farm and what end users need to report. This work shows how real data, collected at commercial scale, supports more credible and practical outcomes.

On-farm outcome
The same verified data lets Boolah and Regen4real prove the benefit to growers, and bring more farms in. The same approach is scaling to more barley growers, and to other crops and off-takers.
