ABOUT Osaka CFP
-
Display Efforts to Reduce CO2 Emissions and Promote Environmentally Friendly Products
The Osaka CFP is an initiative to label agricultural products produced in Osaka as "**% CO2 reduction*" compared to general agricultural products in terms of greenhouse gas emissions from the production and distribution stages.
Consumers and businesses can use this as one of the criteria for purchasing environmentally friendly Osaka products.
*Calculations are based on the assumption that the product will be sold and used in Osaka Prefecture.
*Images and marks are as of September 2023.
