The
European Feed Manufacturers’ Federation (FEFAC) has released the fifth edition
of its Feed Sustainability Charter 2030 Progress Report, highlighting progress
made across five core sustainability ambitions. The report reflects both
achievements and new challenges amid major geopolitical and policy shifts in
Europe.
On 17 October 2025, the European Feed Manufacturers’ Federation (FEFAC) published the fifth edition of its Feed Sustainability Charter 2030 Progress Report, reaching the halfway point of the Charter’s ten-year roadmap launched in 2020. The latest edition assesses the European feed industry’s advancements under five key ambitions: climate neutrality, responsible sourcing, animal health and welfare, resource efficiency, and socio-economic resilience.
This year’s report coincides with an era of significant transition for the feed and food sectors, marked by the formation of a new European Commission and Parliament and by global trade realignments. These dynamics have compelled the industry to adjust its long-term strategies for competitiveness and sustainability.
The 2025 Progress Report incorporates updates reflecting the EU’s policy evolution from the Green Deal to the EU Competitiveness Compass and the EU Vision on Agriculture and Food, both emphasizing resilience, innovation, decarbonization, and food security. Among notable achievements, the sector endorsed the EU Green Feed Labeling Guidelines to harmonize environmental performance communication and launched the Circular Feed Platform Catalogue, advocating for modernized regulations to enable wider use of circular feed materials.
