Production

Resources

Our focus on ensuring responsible resource consumption, optimized year after year wherever possible, covers both how we handle our raw materials and how our customers use the final products. Therefore, it is crucial that we are skilled in production to ensure optimal utilization of the raw material/potato. We also inform our customers about product functionality and correct preparation to preserve as much of the product as possible. In our potato production, residual products such as potato peels and sorted-out potatoes are generated. Additionally, process water that has served its washing function in production is also produced.

We convert these residual products into a pulp product by crushing them and adding the mentioned process water. This amounts to approximately 40,000 tons in total. The pulp product is supplied to biogas plants located in our local area. This contributes to greater energy self-sufficiency in Denmark.

Production

Environment & Climate

We are very aware of our impact on the environment and climate. Therefore, Flensted has an environmental and climate policy that focuses on minimizing our environmental footprint. We have a state-of-the-art biomass boiler for producing steam and hot water, which is used in potato production. This biomass boiler is a key component in our journey to limit CO2 emissions from our production through optimized use of wood chips as an energy source and reduced reliance on oil and natural gas.

Production

Suppliers

Being a responsible company not only places demands on ourselves but also requires us to set expectations for our suppliers. Therefore, we continuously ensure that actions throughout our value chain align with our values and policies. In practice, this means our suppliers must adhere to our ethical code (Supplier Code of Conduct, SCC), and we regularly check the documentation for the raw materials they supply to us. The success rate for SCC in 2023 was approximately 85%.

It is important that both we and our suppliers respect and follow internationally recognized human rights standards. Therefore, we have a company policy on human rights compliance that our suppliers must adhere to. This policy is based on international human rights standards and conventions.
