NEWS 116 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE July 2025 In Alltech’s newly released 2024 Sustainability Report, the company highlights its commitment to helping agri-food producers achieve sustainable profitability, outlines the steps it has taken to reduce environmental impact and champions agriculture’s role in building resilient food systems. “Our vision of Working Together for a Planet of Plenty® recognizes that thriving farms and food businesses are essential for a more sustainable planet,” said Dr. Mark Lyons, president and CEO of Alltech. “When producers are equipped to succeed — to be profitable, to build a legacy and reinvest in their land and communities — we all move closer to a world of abundance.” The 2024 report highlights a year of strong momentum and measurable impact: Alltech achieved double-digit business growth in 2024 while reducing its Scopes 1 and 2 emissions by 7.8%. Since 2021, the company has reduced those emissions by 26%, more than halfway to its 2030 target of 42%, proving that strong business performance can go hand in hand with environmental progress. From investing in energy efficiency and water stewardship to creating sustainability partnerships with customers — through carbon credit and farm resource efficiency programs, for example — and taking bold action to tell agriculture’s story in a new way through the World Without Cows documentary, the 2024 report showcases the global impact of Alltech’s purpose-driven strategy.
