Sustainable Supply Chain
We work on a sustainable value chain with customers and chain partners, from raw materials to food. We strive for the efficient use of natural resources and the reduction of GHG emissions in the production and logistics of animal feed. We share information and knowledge with farmers and collaborate with key partners in the animal protein value chain to make our chain more sustainable by developing new agricultural practices and business concepts.
