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 organizations 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-Jørgensenat, 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.
