This partnership marks a significant expansion of Aligned Incentives’ GenAI-powered enterprise sustainability planning solution into Asia, beyond the US and Europe.
Boston and San Francisco — Aligned Incentives, the market-leading enterprise sustainability planning solution, today announced a new partnership with Thai Union Group, the world’s seafood leader known for brands like Chicken of the Sea and John West. Aligned Incentives will support Thai Union in developing a sophisticated analytical foundation to achieve corporate sustainability goals and to promote responsibly sourced seafood products.
Thai Union serves high-quality, sustainable seafood products to millions of families worldwide, generating an annual revenue of 3.9 billion USD in 2023. As a sustainability frontrunner, Thai Union has committed 200 million USD to its SeaChange® 2030 strategy, comprised of interconnected commitments for people and planet, including aiming to reduce Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2050. The company seeks support to 1) build actionable pathways to meet its ambitious corporate goals, and 2) provide credible product footprints to customers to drive continued business growth whilst decoupling environmental impact.
“We are honored to be selected by Thai Union and look forward to collaborating with our first major customer headquartered in Asia on their Net Zero journey. Thai Union stands out in its focus on making sustainability a core part of its product differentiation in the market,” said Yann Risz, CEO and Co-founder of Aligned Incentives. “As the corporate sustainability landscape transitions from high-level reporting to granular, process-based analytics, we are positioned to offer unparalleled Scope 3 visibility and transparent product footprints at scale.”
Aligned Incentives employs a cutting-edge system, which combines top-tier life cycle assessment (LCA) expertise, an extensive database, and GenAI-powered AITrack software, to enable custom process-based LCA for every product across a corporate portfolio. It empowers global industry leaders to develop accurate product footprints, transparent corporate reports, and actionable mitigation strategies at high speed.
The partnership with Thai Union will focus on three key areas:
“Thai Union is deeply committed to addressing the threat from climate change,” said Adam Brennan, Thai Union’s Chief Sustainability Officer. Under our SeaChange® 2030 sustainability strategy, we will accelerate our path to a healthier and more sustainable world through a reduction in emissions across our value chain. Aligned Incentives stands out in its ability to provide actionable insights on Scope 3 emissions and offer detailed product-level inventories. Offering that level of visibility is critical to Thai Union so we can track and communicate our progress, as well as drive engagement with stakeholders in hotspot areas.”
