HARNESSING THE POWER OF AGRICULTURE FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

At the heart of Alltech’s sustainability vision is the concept of "Working Together for a Planet of Plenty." This notion is rooted in their belief in the potential of agriculture to shape a sustainable future for our planet. According to Dr. Mark Lyons, president and CEO of Alltech, science-based solutions are key to ensuring sustainable food production for the global population.

Alltech is notably working on three key objectives: Replenishing the planet’s natural resources, providing nutrition for all, and revitalizing local economies. Their strategy involves strategic collaboration and stewardship to transform the planet’s future through sustainable farming and nutrition.

REPLENISHING THE PLANET’S NATURAL RESOURCES 

The report also highlights Alltech's initiatives aimed at reducing the company’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, detailing the commitment to a 42% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and a 25% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030. The company invested $4.5 million in efficiency projects in 2022 alone, reducing their emissions significantly and inching closer to their GHG reduction target.

Moreover, the company’s focus on sustainable procurement and packaging, along with substantial investments in renewable energy and continuous measurement and monitoring of KPIs, underlines its long-term commitment to environmental stewardship.

ADVANCING ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIONS IN THE INDUSTRY

Alltech's science-based approach is central to their sustainability strategy, with researchers seeking answers to pressing challenges like antibiotic use, antimicrobial resistance, GHG emissions, and soil health. Additionally, Alltech has committed to completing life-cycle analyses (LCAs) of its core nutritional technologies across all its manufacturing sites globally.

Alltech is also leading in innovation, for instance, through the Feeds EA model that helps feed manufacturers reduce their carbon footprint, and Alltech IFM, which simulates rumen fermentation to evaluate the energy and protein availability of feeds.

NUTRITION FOR ALL

A central theme of Alltech’s vision for a Planet of Plenty is the delivery of high-quality nutrition. The company has developed pioneering nutritional technologies that improve production efficiency and rid animal diets of toxins that can harm both the animal and the environment. Alltech’s Quality System (AQS) and Mycotoxin Management Program ensure quality, safety, and service across their manufacturing facilities. 

REVITALIZING LOCAL ECONOMIES

In addition to environmental sustainability, Alltech is dedicated to fostering economic resilience at a local level. Through a range of global initiatives, Alltech leads the charge in inspiring the next generation of changemakers and investing in learning journeys for its team members 

The company's commitment to diversity is evident, with nearly 40% of all management positions held by women and numerous programs in place to support women's advancement in the agri-food industry.

CONCLUSION

Alltech's 2022 Sustainability Report is a testament to the company's unwavering commitment to sustainable animal feed production. Through innovative technologies, improved business practices, and a shared vision for a Planet of Plenty, Alltech continues to lead the charge towards a more sustainable future for the agri-food sector.
