New moves to more carbon information serve Canadian consumers — and our businesses, too

Maple Leaf Foods recently announced it'll be adding a jazzy new label to its packaging: a seal that declares its products carbon zero. It's PR to be sure, part of an announcement proclaiming them the first major food producer to be carbon neutral, but it's also in line with a sustainability effort that seems both durable and heartfelt. And as the world snaps to climate attention, it's better to be ahead of the climate-disclosure curve than behind it. Other producers would do well to get in line.
