Sustainability is our business
Leadership in circularity and resource use
Our business drives sustainable solutions through waste reduction and the production of sustainable goods. However, we also recognize the importance of reducing the environmental impact of our own operations.
Workforce, wellbeing and community engagement
People are our priority. We continually strive to create a work environment that is safe and engaging, fostering diversity and encouraging career development. We invest in communities where we live, work and play.
Operating with integrity
Integrity, honesty and transparency are fundamental to the way we operate. We employ strong governance practices and maintain robust business ethics and compliance programs to uphold trust and deliver value to stakeholders.
What we do
Our core business
Collect
First, we collect materials from the animal agriculture and food industries, helping these industries be more sustainable by providing an alternative to landfilling and incineration.
Process
Next, we separate the materials into fats and proteins, and also extract water – treating and returning more water back to the environment than we use.
Create
Ultimately, we create the highest value for our fats and proteins, which go on to nourish people, feed animals and crops, and fuel the world with renewable energy.
