Main Achievements
The EcoVadis Gold rating, which places Behn Meyer in the top 5% of audited companies, is a monument to our work over the years and a significant external acknowledgement for a family-owned business. Our sustainability journey demonstrates to our customers how our products and technologies can assist them in their sustainability roadmap. We have already reduced our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 25% from the baseline of 2021, and we are currently working to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040.
Steps to Sustainability
Staying true to its mission to manufacture and distribute high performing, sustainable products for its customers, Behn Meyer has recorded several sustainable achievements in the last 2 years. Here are some of our accomplishments:
• Acquisition of an Australian-based food ingredient company and a stake in a Norwegian producer of renewable-based solutions from marine deposits of calcified algae.
• Our newly created Thai company, Nutrivo Ingredients, achieved the FSSC 22000 food safety certification, and we successfully developed new technology to upcycle food waste into a commercial new meat product under Nutrivo.
• Acquisition of a German enzyme producer, which will focus on sustainable solutions for the food, pulp, and paper industries.
These investments have created a global network from which we can derive multiple synergies, including the opportunity to bring Nutrivo’s plant-based fibre proteins produced in Thailand to the Australian market, where we note a growing trend for vegan alternatives.
