Feeding the Future:
Sustainability Programme 2010–2015

 

The Feeding the Future Sustainability Programme is built to translate the sustainability targets set by the Board and the three focus areas into more specific objectives and concrete and measurable activities. The programme aims to enable in an effective way sustainable value creation and inspired business all through the organisation. It addresses the conditions needed to improve our own organisation as well as those needed to integrate our sustainability role within the industry chain.

 

 

The programme starts with building the global sustainability structure and systems needed as foundation for an increased and more measurable sustainability performance based on continuous improvement, active learning and inspiring knowledge exchange. We will involve, engage and train people at all levels of the organisation and will install cross-organisational communities of practice to build on the best practices already existing. Each operating company will develop its own sustainability action plan in line with the targets and challenges addressed in the Feeding the Future Sustainability Programme. At all levels we will continue to take innovative actions to improve and sustain our business along the way.

 

 

The Feeding the Future Sustainability Programme will become effective in 2010.

Some activities planned for the next two years are:

 

Developing CO2 footprints and CO2 reduction plans for all Nutreco plants; each contributing to the overall reduction target of 50% in 2015

 

Structuring our external engagement activities within the industry chain to become more effective, both on a global and a local level

     

Extending current nutrition models for use in sustainability assessment in new product development, based on an integrated sustainability and efficiency approach

 

Creating more internal and external awareness and knowledge transfer about sustainability ambitions and best practices already existing

     

Development of a sustainable sourcing strategy aimed at integrating relevant sustainability elements and criteria in Nutreco’s sourcing policies and processes

 

Addressing all the above in the sustainability action plan per operating company
