Alltech Coppens have released their 2022 Planet of Plenty Sustainable Report, which provides an overview of the company's commitment to sustainability. Generally speaking, the report serves to demonstrate the company's "journey" towards responsible management of the world's resources and food for all, it explained in a press release.
The report highlights how the company is researching, developing and commercialising better alternatives, working with partners globally to improve sustainable developments in aquaculture.
"We at Alltech Coppens continue to work on sustainability on many fronts, from reducing our own emissions and helping our clients reduce theirs to increasing transparency and providing more efficient feeds, which are increasingly adapted to specific systems and environments," explains Ronald Faber, CEO and global aqua lead at Alltech.

"This second Planet of Plenty report gives more insights into the progress of our sustainability journey. We implemented a scoring system for our feeds based on various raw material environmental impact criteria, and we are continuously improving our sustainability knowledge through research and system-specific nutrition," he adds.
Alltech Coppens strives to positively impact the market in which it operates – incorporating sustainability into its business strategy. This includes future ambitions, such as zero waste emissions throughout the life cycle of fish feed by 2030 and zero CO2 emissions throughout the product life cycle. The latter mentioned will be achieved through energy saving and utilising renewable energy, striving to become a carbon-free society by 2050.
In order to protect the planet and continue to supply food for the global population, the message 'Planet of Plenty' commits to nine of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This includes prioritising life below water, climate action, and quality education.
"We have made significant progress compared to last year, and our aim is to further reduce emissions of our aquafeed production and the negative environmental and social impact of all our activities," concludes Faber. "Going forward, we will not only look at reducing our negative impact but also how we can create more of a positive impact."
