Our environmental approach

We continue to focus heavily on those aspects of our business where we can make the most immediate and significant improvements in the way we affect the environment.

Energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and water management

Return on the investments required to make progress in these areas comes, in some cases, in the short term; in others, the reward will take longer to realise.

But all are intended to ensure that there is a “long term” for Danisco by making our business more sustainable.

Reducing our consumption of resources increases our cost efficiency. Minimising climate-changing emissions lessens the cost burden of adapting to the effects of climate change

Best-in-class practices

By optimising our resource use and decreasing our environmental footprint, we can enhance our operational performance and, in turn, contribute to stronger financial performance.

As part of our commitment to sustainability, we will:

Optimise the use of natural resources, including raw materials, water and energy through process improvements and technological advances;
Reduce, recycle and reuse waste;
Set and review targets, assess and report environmental performance quarterly;
Conduct an Executive Committee review of progress towards established targets each quarter.
