Ten years of sustainability reporting

Nutreco was a pioneer in its sector in taking a course towards greater openness by publishing a report each year with information on the issues surrounding its activities. The first report related to activities in 2000 and Nutreco has published a report in every year since, making this the tenth report.

In that time, the reports evolved from Social & Environmental Reports to Corporate Social Responsibility Reports and now to a Sustainability Report. At the mid-point in the sequence, 2004–2005–2006, Nutreco underwent a major change in the Rebalancing for Growth strategy. The most important changes came when the Hendrix Meat Group and Pingo Poultry were divested followed by the fish farming and processing activities of Marine Harvest. Nutreco then focused becoming a global leader in animal nutrition. These changes in the company and the issues it faces are reflected by the ten reports.
