Climate change mitigation
We support Nutreco’s science-based greenhouse gas targets, developed in alignment with the goals of the Paris Agreement. We are also working to manage risks relating to natural resources, biodiversity and ecosystems in the supply chains for our feed ingredients. This includes sourcing requirements and measures addressing deforestation, land conversion, habitat loss and other identified environmental risks.
Our approach:
-
Work towards Nutreco’s approved science-based targets for 2030.
-
Work with suppliers to improve the availability and quality of footprint data for the ingredients we use and identify opportunities to reduce associated greenhouse gas emissions.
-
Increase the use of renewable electricity where feasible.
-
Implement lifecycle assessment metrics in feed formulation, innovation processes and procurement.
- Develop footprinting capabilities in farm and formulation models to help aquaculture producers assess feed-related greenhouse gas emissions and identify potential reduction measures.
- Seek independent verification of core lifecycle assessment tools.
- Connect lifecycle assessment metrics to internal data systems to support product and corporate footprint calculations.
Some of our results:
- We report reductions in Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions against a 2018 baseline. Current percentages, reporting boundaries, period and methodology are provided in our latest Impact Report.
- Skretting has removed coal from its own operations, as reported for the organisational scope and period covered by our latest Impact Report.
- Skretting 360+ has supported improvements in feed conversion in documented applications in selected regions. Results vary by species, farm, baseline, period, services used and production conditions.
