Focus on Responsible Consumption and Production

Sustainability at Flensted

Our sustainability strategy is designed to both support our daily business operations and ensure we contribute to creating a better world.

Until now, we have measured our sustainability efforts against short-term goals. A key guiding principle for us has also been UN Sustainable Development Goal No. 12, 'Responsible Consumption and Production,' as this is where we have been able to make the biggest difference.

UN Sustainable Development Goal No. 12, 'Responsible Consumption and Production,' focuses on ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns globally. This goal calls for action on several fronts:

• Limiting Resource Consumption: This involves reducing the total consumption of natural resources by implementing more efficient production and consumption processes. This can include increasing production yield per unit of resource used and reducing unnecessary consumption.
• Combating Waste and Pollution: The goal is to minimize waste generation by promoting reuse, recycling, and efficient waste management. Additionally, it aims to reduce polluting emissions and ensure safe and sustainable waste treatment.
• Promoting Sustainable Production and Consumption:  This includes promoting the production and consumption of goods and services that align with sustainable development principles. It involves creating incentives for businesses to adopt more sustainable production methods and consumer behaviors.
• Strengthening Global Partnerships: This goal requires collaboration across national borders, sectors, and stakeholders to promote sustainable development. This involves governments, businesses, civil society, and citizens working together to achieve sustainability goals.

Essentially, Goal No. 12 is about redefining our relationship with consumption and production to ensure they do not harm the environment, economy, or society, but rather contribute positively to a more sustainable future.

Together with our parent company, Wernsing Food Family, we will set ambitious goals that contribute to an even better world. At the same time, as a company, we increasingly need our sustainability efforts to also be a strong competitive factor in the market. The goals for Scope 1, 2, and 3, among others, will focus on what we can do ourselves, and what requirements we can set and develop together with our partners in the value chain.

Many of these goals can only be achieved by introducing new technology into our production. We are already making progress on this with investments in a new freezing line over the coming years.

We will continue to seek innovative solutions that reduce our environmental impact while also improving our competitiveness. This may include implementing energy-efficient processes, optimizing logistics to reduce emissions, and developing packaging solutions with a lower environmental footprint. By integrating sustainability into all aspects of our business, we strive to be a pioneer in green transition within the food industry. Together with our partners, we will continue to work towards creating positive changes and contributing to a more sustainable future for generations to come.
