Our Sustainability RoadMap 2025 was approved by Nutreco’s Management Board (formerly Nutreco Executive Leadership Team) in June 2020. It consists of three principal pillars: Health & Welfare; Climate & Circularity; and Good Citizenship.
After the RoadMap was adopted, we focused on developing processes and systems to help us accurately measure our progress in 2021 so that we could fully report on the goals and targets it outlines. Those goals and targets are measurably defined to be the basis for this and future reports.
During the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021, we worked to raise awareness – both internally and externally – around the RoadMap and sustainability.
For each of our RoadMap 2025 goals and targets, we have aligned an SDG sub-target to measurably address relevant issues. We referenced the “Business reporting on the SDG, interpretation for business” of the SDG to assist us in addressing the issue.
*Soft targets are measurable targets that are relevant for our businesses in geographies or markets where there is demand for addressing the respective topic.
Topics handled by other departments:
At the end of 2020, the Nutreco Sustainability Platform launched the new online RoadMap 2025 progress assessment tool to be used to monitor progress made on our RoadMap 2025 targets over the next four years.
On an annual basis, the General Managers of our businesses and division Functional Directors are asked to respond to specific questions related to the completion or partial completion of the targets and goals reflected in RoadMap 2025.
The RoadMap 2025 progress assessment tool has been developed to:
We created a dashboard that gives local managers insight into their score and allows them to compare themselves to the internal benchmark on various RoadMap 2025 targets.
In 2020, Nutreco conducted a trial execution of this progress assessment tool. We identified areas of improvement and baseline data to mark our starting point towards our targets. In 2021, we revised and strengthened the progress assessment questionnaire, allowing us to track our progress relative to 2020. The results per pillar are weighted according to the number of targets and relative importance.
Our Health & Welfare pillar is focused on addressing the risk of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through strategic reduction of antibiotic use and eliminating the use of specific groups of antibiotics. In this RoadMap 2025 pillar, we identify five specific targets.
