Climate change mitigation
Our commitment:
We commit to the Science Based Target Initiative to align with the 2015 Paris Agreement and prepare for a lower-carbon future. In addition, we are committed to responsibly managing natural resources, biodiversity, and ecosystems in the production of our compound feed ingredients. This involves implementing practices that protect and enhance the health of our ecosystems, ensuring that our operations do not contribute to deforestation, habitat loss, or other forms of environmental degradation.
Our approach:
- Do what it takes to reach our Science-Based Targets commitment in 2030
- Work with our supply chain to obtain accurate footprint data for the ingredients we use, and make sure that the footprint of these ingredients are reduced over time
- Use renewable electricity where possible.
- Implement LCA metrics in feed formulations, in the innovation stage-gate process, and in procurement (as part of Scope 3 for Science-Based Targets)
- Develop foot printing capacity in our farm and formulation models to help customers measure and reduce their emissions
- Achieve third party verification of core LCA tools in place
- Connect LCA metrics to internal data systems for automated products and corporate footprint calculations
Some of our results:
- Reduced scope 1 and 2 emissions with 35% compared to 2018, and scope 3 with 10%
- Have become 100% free from coal 6 years before our initial deadline
- Managed to reduce customers’ feed conversion ratio by 10-30% through Skretting 360+, a package of innovative tools and services brought to farmers in several regions
