Sustainable operations

Royal Avebe gets the most out of the potato. This process requires energy and water and creates waste streams. We know this has to change. We have ambitious goals and have redesigned processes to improve our daily operational work.

Targeted Goals

Together, we aim to significantly reduce Avebe's impact on the environment and create a sustainable future. To this end, we have six sustainability programmes, in six plants. Through these programmes, we ensure that we reduce our emissions, make our energy use more efficient, reduce our water use, increase our circular operations and make our sourcing and production processes more sustainable. Our 2030 target is to reduce our ecological footprint by 30% compared to 2022/2023.

Science Based Targets initiative

We have committed to short- and long-term emission reductions across the company, in line with the Net-Zero Standard of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The Science Based Targets initiative is a global body that enables companies to set ambitious emission reduction targets in line with the latest climate science. The goal of the SBTi is to encourage companies around the world to halve the global economy’s emissions by 2030.
