Shenali Madhanaroopan Impact Analyst | LCA, Organics & ESG Data in CPG

As an Impact Analyst at Riverside Natural Foods (Home of MadeGood and GOOD TO GO) and a Master of Environment graduate, I bring grounded experience in measuring and communicating environmental and social impact within the food and CPG space. I’ve led product-level LCAs—including for organic cocoa—and supported corporate GHG accounting across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. My work spans waste diversion pilots, ESG data systems, impact strategy, and cross-functional storytelling. Whether you're entering the field or looking to strengthen your data-backed impact work, I’ll help you clarify your role, understand the tools and frameworks, and bring more intention and confidence to your projects. You’ll leave with insights you can apply immediately—from scoping impact initiatives to building internal buy-in.

With hands-on experience leading LCAs for field crops and processed ingredients—including Peruvian organic cocoa and Canadian-grown grains—I specialize in food system and product-level assessment across multiple environmental impact categories. I’ve presented this work at international conferences like LCAFoods 2024 and the IFOAM Organic World Congress, bridging academic rigor with real-world application. My training (M.Env) and role at Riverside Natural Foods give me a grounded, business-ready perspective. Whether you're starting your first LCA, refining your methodology, or trying to make results actionable, I can help. You’ll walk away with clarity on LCA frameworks and software tools, environmental indicators, primary vs. secondary data sourcing, and how to apply insights across your supply chain or reporting strategy.

With deep roots in organic food systems, I bring scientific understanding and strategic experience across policy, sourcing, and communication. I’ve led LCAs for organic cocoa and Canadian-grown field crops, serve on the board of the Organic Council of Ontario, and am actively engaged with the Canada Organic Trade Association (COTA), Organic Science Cluster, Canadian Organic Growers (COG), IFOAM, and the Organic Trade Association (OTA). Whether you're navigating organic certification, building supply chain partnerships, or developing advocacy and education initiatives, I can help you cut through complexity with clarity and confidence. You'll leave with insights into how organic systems work—and how to elevate your role in strengthening them.

Whether you're presenting impact data, pitching a project, or educating stakeholders, effective communication can make or break your message. I’ve presented complex topics like LCA, ESG reporting, and organic food systems at international conferences (LCAFoods, IFOAM), industry summits, and academic events—and I’ve learned how to make technical content land with clarity and confidence. I can help you find your voice, structure your story, and speak with purpose—whether it’s a panel talk, stakeholder deck, or internal meeting. You’ll walk away with tips tailored to your style, audience, and goals so your message moves people, not just slides.
