Ocado notches up a sustainable first as it taps Mondra carbon accounting and management platform

Mondra, an AI powered platform delivering product level intelligence for food supply chains, reports that Ocado has become its first customer to fully integrate its product lifecycle management system, Click-PLM, with the Mondra carbon accounting and management platform.

The integration enables automated, product level Scope 3 emissions accounting across Ocado’s food retail operations, connecting live product and volume data directly into its carbon reporting processes.

It can now track changes in its product portfolio dynamically and use carbon data to support sustainability decision-making more efficiently.

Laura Fernandez, Senior Sustainability Manager at Ocado, comments, “Integrating our product lifecycle data with Mondra allows us to automate key elements of our Scope 3 emissions accounting and better understand how changes in our product portfolio affect our carbon footprint. This supports more informed decision-making as we continue to develop our sustainability approach.”

Jason Barrett, CEO at Mondra, comments, “Ocado’s decision to use Mondra’s DaaS reflects a clear shift toward system-based, product level Scope 3 management. By integrating live product and volume data from Click-PLM directly into our carbon accounting platform, Ocado is moving beyond static reporting to embed carbon intelligence into everyday product and commercial decisions.”

“This kind of integration shows how high quality, connected data can make sustainability reporting more automated, accurate and ultimately more actionable at scale.”

Mondra was developed in coalition with the British Retail Consortium (BRC), whose members include grocery retailers such as Tesco, M&S, Co-op, Asda, Lidl, Aldi, Pets at Home, and Sainsbury’s; suppliers including Avara, Samworth Brothers, Greencore, Pilgrim’s, Dunbia, Cranswick, and Bakkavor; and brands such as Starbucks and Nando’s.

Together with NGOs and government partners, this coalition is working to establish a unified standard for measuring product level performance, with the aim of creating a level playing field that enables consistent and credible measurement across the food industry.

2026 RTIH Innovation Awards

AI will be a key focus area at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards are now open for entries and celebrate global retail technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our winners will be revealed at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards Ceremony, taking place at The HAC in Central London on Wednesday, 4th November.

Check out our 2025 winners here.

Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”

“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”

He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”

Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
