CO2-neutral production location

Efficient animal feed production using environmentally-friendly energy sources

Over the last few years we have invested around 500,000 euros in energy-saving measures and are proud of what we have achieved to date. And in the coming years we will continue to aim high to increase sustainability throughout the company. Because ultimately, it makes much more sense to reduce our CO2 emissions than to offset them. We are working on this.

For a CO2-neutral company...

... we prefer to reduce our energy consumption rather than offset it

Modern production equipment

Efficient feed production

Sparing use of energy

We rely on modern, gentle manufacturing methods and are reducing our environmental footprint. Our new production facilities run efficiently and are climate-friendly. As a result, we save water and energy. Already we are able to save 10% energy per kilogram of pet food produced, and the trend is upwards.

Environmentally-friendly energy sources

Our PV system

Sustainable electricity mix

We currently cover 5% of our power consumption with our own photovoltaic system. To save other resources, CO2 and crude oil, in 2022 we intend to cover all of our roof surfaces with PV panels and will use an empty area beside our premises to construct a solar park. We aim to be able to generate around 50% of all the electricity we need by renewable methods by 2024. The remaining electricity will be provided by a mix of sustainable energies from a regional supplier.

We support climate protection projects...

... to allow effective commitment to sustainability

Despite all our energy-saving measures, there is still a small part of our CO2 output remaining that we cannot reduce any further. To offset this, we support two climate protection projects run by our partner, myclimate.de

CO2 offsetting

Climate protection projects

With myclimate

To offset our CO2 emissions, we participate in climate protection projects run by our partner, myclimate. These enable us to commit effectively to sustainability and climate protection.
We support reforestation projects in Uganda; the small-scale farmers help to plant the trees and manage the existing woodlands better. This creates the basis for long-term and sustainable use of the land.

Strong community

Sustainable development and climate protection

Alliance for Development and Climate Foundation

Activities focus on the avoidance and reduction of greenhouse gases and highly effective ways of offsetting them. This is done by means of high-quality climate protection projects, especially in countries of the Global South. As a supporter of the Alliance for Development and Climate we are working towards shaping a better and more climate-friendly world. The aims of the Alliance include supporting the 1.5 degrees Paris Agreement and the 17 sustainable development goals of the United Nations’ Agenda 2030.
