For at least five years, Nutreco’s business lines — Trouw Nutrition for livestock and pets, and Skretting for aquaculture—have followed the PEFCR Feed Standard, which builds on FAO’s LEAP guidelines - recognised standards for assessing and reducing environmental footprints. Through its involvement with the International Feed Industry Federation (IFIF), a founding member of LEAP, Nutreco states that it has contributed to shaping these standards and ensuring the feed industry’s perspective is represented globally. Participation in LEAP is expected to help further align sustainability practices across the feed and animal nutrition sectors, enabling farmers and feed producers to adopt solutions that improve efficiency and reduce emissions. Nutreco highlights that joining LEAP gives it the opportunity to engage, contribute, and collaborate within a global network focused on improving the environmental performance of livestock systems. The company will participate in LEAP technical working groups and the Steering Committee, support harmonised approaches to measuring environmental impact, and bring innovation in feed and circular ingredient solutions to global discussions. This ensures that Nutreco’s science-based approach is represented and allows it to apply consistent methodologies to build capabilities and track progress toward its sustainability goals, according to the statement.
