Soya foods are sustainable and eco-friendly options for consumers as the production is efficient in using natural resources such as energy, land and water. But it is not in Alpro’s nature to rest on its laurels and we have undertaken a number of actions to reduce on-site CO2 emissions, water use, and waste. A strong focus has been put on reducing energy related emissions from production sites, as research has shown that this area is the biggest contributor to the total CO2 footprint of soya foods, ahead of transport and packaging.
WMF Climate Savers programme
As of today, Alpro is the first European food company to join the WWF Climate Savers programme. The goal of this prestigious programme is to help pioneering industries and businesses to develop new climate and energy solutions. Alpro’s commitment under this programme is to keep its plants’ CO2 emissions by 2013 below 2008 levels, despite an expected one third growth in volumes.
