We reduce the noise around the plants
We have reduced the noise level of our plants by more than 20% over the past 20 years. We intend to continue to reduce it with ongoing investments.
Environmental consideration and social responsibility are among the pillars of Tereos TTD's business philosophy. Our factories make the most of the rich potential of sugar beet, when the crop is used not only as a raw material for production, but we also meaningfully process its by-products and waste products.
In 2022, as the Tereos Group, we committed ourselves globally to the new sustainability plan SUSTAIN 2030. In 5 pillars, we defined 10 commitments for 2030. All commitments are based on the Sustainable Development Goals methodology of the UN.
By 2030, 90% of Tereos Group's agricultural raw materials will be certified or evaluated as sustainable (compared to 60% in 2017).
By 2030, 100% of Tereos Group business units will create biodiversity conservation projects in line with the Tereos Group Biodiversity Charter.
By 2030, we will achieve a 100% rate of utilization and conversion of our agricultural raw materials, including waste.
By 2030, the Tereos Group will reduce the CO2 emissions of those European factories that have the largest share of the Group's carbon footprint by at least 30% (compared to 2015).
In 2030, our water consumption will be at least 20% lower (compared to 2016).
By 2030, the Tereos Group will offer 70% of its large clients the possibility of modifying the composition of products, which will provide customers with nutritional benefits.
By 2030, 100% of our direct-to-consumer sugar products will link to responsible consumption education tools.
By 2030, we will reduce the LWC (Lost Workday Case) rate to 0.5, achieving the best level in our industry (compared to 2.8 in 2018).
In 2030, 40% of senior management will be women with the ambition of bridging the gender pay gap (compared to 14% in 2022).
We continue to plan to support local development as much as possible through our industrial presence and raw materials from local agriculture.
We have reduced the noise level of our plants by more than 20% over the past 20 years. We intend to continue to reduce it with ongoing investments.
During its processing, we get more than double the volume of water from sugar beet than we take from public sources. This makes us a "clean water producer".
