Climate and circularity
1. We showed a 1.3% increase in scope 1 and 2 emissions in 2022 over 2021. This happened as a result of commercial changes we outline later in the chapter.
2. We made the decision to eliminate 100% coal from our last three operations in 2023 and eliminate fuel oil in boilers in one large Nutreco operation. After these capital expenditures are completed in 2023, we expect significant reductions in scope 1 emissions in 2024.
3. We also implemented solar panel installations and converted to renewable electricity options across several OpCos.
4. We saw a significant increase in our overall inclusion rate of novel ingredients from 0.056% to 0.8% of total raw materials purchased.
5. Toward our target of achieving 100% recyclable, reusable or compostable packaging, we showed an overall 4% increase in recyclable packaging.
