Environment

Our objective is to become carbon-neutral by 2025 for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, following the globally recognized Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

In 2023, Puratos has taken a significant step in its journey towards Carbon Neutrality by sourcing 100% renewable electricity. We produce energy on-site via our solar panels and reduce our energy consumption with heat pumps, heat recovery and other technologies. At each production site, areas of improvement are identified, and action plans are implemented to reduce our energy consumption and optimize processes.

In 2024, we formally joined the Science-Based Targets initiatives (SBTi), reaffirming our commitment to climate actions. By next year, we will submit our science-based emission reduction targets across our value chain, including efforts to reduce emissions generated outside of our operations. 

Puratos plans to achieve water balance by 2030 by guaranteeing the responsible planning and management of our shared freshwater resources.

This entails minimizing the use of freshwater, enhancing the quality of our water discharged and mitigating water risks in our direct operations and in our value chain.

We aim to eliminate waste in our operations and promote a circular economy, to reach zero waste to landfill in our operations by 2030.

Our approach for waste management and reduction prioritizes prevention, with an emphasis on refusing and reducing waste. We advocate for reuse whenever feasible before considering recycling options. Moreover, we emphasize recycling over energy recovery options.

We are deeply committed to reducing food waste internally, within the production and warehousing processes of our products, and externally, helping our customers and consumers in their efforts to reduce waste. To address this issue, we have a range of solutions that help our customers extend the shelf life and freshness of their products.
