By: dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health has announced a strategic collaboration with Bureau Veritas Solutions Denmark A/S, a global leader in testing, inspection and certification services, to promote a credible sustainability measurement in animal protein production.
The two organisations have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to leverage and verify dsm-firmenich’s Sustell™, its industry-leading life cycle assessment (LCA) platform, to support the measurement of calculations and emission reductions for sustainable business practices in the feed and animal protein value chain.
The agreement highlights a shared commitment to establish more sustainable business practices and limit the environmental impact of the animal protein industry. By leveraging Sustell™, the animal protein industry can monetize carbon footprint reduction with innovative nutritional solutions that enhance farm animal health and productivity.
Dr Heinz Flatnitzer, Head of Emissions Value Management at dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health, says “At dsm-firmenich, we believe that unlocking the value of feed and food’s environmental footprint is the most effective way to achieve long-lasting sustainability gains while ensuring farmers have sufficient incomes. This new strategic partnership with Bureau Veritas will not only demonstrate a commitment to sustainable practices but also verify Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) calculations and emissions reductions. By making sustainability a business driver rather than a cost component, we help to unleash sustainable transformation from farm to fork.”
Tomas Riegels-Jørgensen at Bureau Veritas says “As a global leader in testing, inspecting and certification services, we value precision and innovative solutions. We are delighted to collaborate with dsm-firmenich’s Sustell™ to promote a credible carbon footprint reduction, this partnership supports the journey towards more sustainable business practices in the animal protein industry.”
Farm-to-fork cooperation based on credible data offers value chains the best opportunity to improve traceability, meet reporting requirements, generate value and make sustainability a reality for industry players, people and the planet.
