Collaborations

Description

Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC)

Skretting works extensively with ASC as a core assurance system for responsible aquaculture feed production and

Arla

Trouw Nutrition is engaged with Arla and other industry partners to support the Arla Tesco Encompass Project as part of the Tesco Future Dairy Partnership initiative. Trouw Nutrition leads the animal nutrition workstream, focusing on nutrition from the calf to the fifth lactation cow. The project runs for five years and is designed to scale up increased feed and protein efficiency, reduce nitrogen and phosphate inputs on farm and improve carbon footprint per kilogram of fat‑ and protein‑corrected milk.

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Livestock Environmental Assessment and Performance (LEAP) Partnership

In 2025, Nutreco joined FAO’s LEAP partnership – a global initiative dedicated to improving the environmental performance of livestock supply chains. By contributing scientific and operational expertise, we help shape globally accepted methodologies for LCA, nutrient flows, GHG accounting and land use metrics.

The International Feed Industry Federation (IFIF)

We support the goals of IFIF, which provides a unified voice and leadership to represent and promote the global feed industry as an essential participant in the food chain that provides sustainable, safe, nutritious and affordable food for a growing world population. This is done by working on industry global standards on feed quality and sustainability together with authorities. We actively participate in these initiatives.

European association of producers of specialty ingredients, FEFANA

We collaborate with FEFANA to promote innovative and sustainable speciality feed ingredients and strive for better legislation that supports the safety, sustainability and competitiveness of the sector.

European Feed Manufacturers' Federation (FEFAC)

We are actively involved in FEFAC and are committed to promoting a sustainable future for our industry. The organisation's president, Pedro Cordero, Institutional Relations & Strategy Director in Nutreco Iberiawas appointed in 2022. Pedro actively represents FEFAC's interests, while at the same time ensuring that we live up to our responsibility, as part of the food chain, to help produce safe, sustainable and healthy food for the global population. We participate actively in all FEFAC committees, including the regulatory and sustainability committees, supporting our sector through dialogue.

Global Feed LCA Institute (GFLI)

Through our involvement in GFLI, we support the development of high-quality, publicly available environmental footprint data for feed ingredients. GFLI underpins the data foundation of our footprinting tools and promotes methodological consistency across the feed sector, enabling transparent and comparable sustainability reporting.

Global Roundtable on Marine Ingredients (GMRI)

Through Skretting, we are a member of the GMRI. Founded in 2021, the Roundtable aims at taking actions in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It also works to provide a single value chain contact point to contribute to existing platforms, aimed at ensuring sustainable management of fisheries that provide marine ingredients.

Global Salmon Initiative (GSI)

One important way we are helping advance the salmon sector is through our membership in the GSI. Through the GSI, salmon farmers and feed companies have committed to working together on a precompetitive basis to accelerate progress towards ever-increasing standards of sustainability for the farmed salmon industry, and to driving progressive innovation in the feed sector.

Global Seafood Alliance (GSA)

The GSA is the organisation behind the Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) Feed Mill Standard. Through Skretting we actively engage with the GSA to ensure alignment between the standard and our certified factory procedures.

Hendrix Genetics

Nutreco engaged in a project with Hendrix Genetics in 2025, together with other stakeholders in the Netherlands. The aim was to understand the baseline carbon footprint of one kilogram of eggs and to explore opportunities for reducing the carbon footprint throughout the laying hen sector's value chain. Together, we discussed different reduction strategies and helped Hendrix feed more precisely by adjusting their global recommendations. We also supported them in determining the potential future impact of genetic improvements on the carbon footprint.

The Marine Ingredients Organisation (IFFO)

Skretting is an actively participating member of the IFFO, an international membership organisation that represents the marine ingredients industry, which includes fishmeal, fish oil and other related categories. IFFO’s 250 members, who have joined on a voluntary basis, reside in around 50 countries, and account for over 50% of world production and 80% of the fishmeal and fish oil traded worldwide.

The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)

Skretting works together with MSC to align with standards on industry practices and customer expectations. We also collaborate on how we deal with challenges and present them openly to the industry.

MarinTrust

MarinTrust and Skretting have built a collaborative relationship that ensures the MarinTrust Standard continues to evolve in line with industry practices and customer expectations. Through active participation in MarinTrust committees – where Skretting is among the represented industry members alongside scientists and NGOs – producers help shape requirements that are both practical and ambitious. MarinTrust’s core mission is to provide robust assurance on the responsible sourcing, traceability and production of marine ingredients.

Pathways to Dairy Net Zero (P2DNZ) Consortium

Trouw Nutrition is the sponsor of the animal nutrition workstream for P2DNZ – a global consortium that is part of the Global Dairy Partnership (GDP) – bringing together research institutions, dairy companies, producer organisations and NGOs to accelerate climate action in the dairy sector. The consortium focuses on identifying and scaling scientifically verified mitigation pathways, from feed management and enteric methane reduction to manure handling and nutrient efficiency.

Our participation ensures that our Carbon Reduction Programme Dairy principles and focus on nutrition for the whole lifecycle of the animal are aligned with internationally recognised dairy climate strategies and support customers in progressing toward their net-zero commitments.

ProTerra Foundation

Nutreco is a member of the ProTerra Foundation and an active member of the ProTerra Stakeholders Council. The ProTerra Foundation allows us to meet global sustainability requirements by improving transparency and traceability throughout the supply chain.

Roundtable for Responsible Soy (RTRS)

Nutreco is a member of RTRS. Founded in 2006 in Zürich, Switzerland, the RTRS is a non-profit organisation promoting the production, trade and use of responsible soy. It works through cooperation with those in, and related to, the soy value chain, from production to consumption, by providing a global platform for multi-stakeholder dialogue on responsible soy. RTRS is also working towards the development, implementation and verification of a global certification standard.

Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO)

Nutreco has been a member of RSPO since 2009. The RSPO works to transform the palm oil industry to make it sustainable. The RSPO is a global, non-profit organisation with a voluntary membership base that brings together stakeholders from across the palm oil value chain to develop and implement global standards for sustainable palm oil.
