Sustainability runs right through VION’s strategy

VION Food Group has included sustainability as one of the essential pillars of its strategy. This manifests itself in all sorts of programmes and projects. VION invests in the search for methods to control, reduce and/or replace negative processes and effects.

Food security, affordability and safety, the environment, animal welfare and animal health, all directly or indirectly touch on VION’s activities. The use of water, the use of energy, CO2 emissions, but also the production of energy in the form of biofuels: VION Food Group and all its companies recognise and accept responsibility for sustainable production.
In the food chain, we do this together with our partners, which range from livestock farmers and retailers, to consumers and community organisations. VION shows the other side of sustainability in its Ingredients branch. ‘Pushing back’ is not the central theme here, but ‘adding’. We process products of animal origin and turn them into new products, such as sustainable energy. The focus is not only on reducing the environmental impact, but on adding value to materials that had previously been waste products. We process these “waste products” and turn them into added value products such as sustainable energy.
