Topic 7: Environmentally responsibly sourcing
We aim to use sustainably sourced raw materials across our operations. Looking ahead, we aim to purchase our key raw materials from sustainable sources, reflecting our commitment to reducing environmental impact and supporting biodiversity.
Green goal
De Heus Animal Nutrition business units aim to use deforestation and conversion free soybean meal and palm oil products.
- We aim for our soybean meal and palm oil products to be deforestation-free on a mass balance basis.
- In case of elevated risk and uncertainty, we will spend at least the corresponding budget of deforestation compensation credits to support deforestation-free projects within local supply chains, ensuring local relevance and impact.
- We offer our customers a range of more sustainable options in relevant markets.
- At De Heus, we follow our own policy for sourcing deforestation and conversion-free soy and palm products. This policy applies company-wide, unless regional or national legislation, such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), imposes stricter requirements. In such cases, we will fully align our approach with the applicable legal standards.
- Our goals exclude soy and palm related products, because these are considered as by-products.
