Water
As a global producer in the food industry, we are committed to guaranteeing the sustainability of our business, with regards to both the environmental and the social aspects of our activities. This is why we have taken a comprehensive and result-oriented sustainability approach.
Our Objectives
To continuously look at the economically feasible improvement of water management by anticipating the reduction of water resources and therefore using each litre of water efficiently, while maintaining the safety by using drink water quality in our production.
Some examples
- We introduce Cleaning In Place (CIP) of our equipment to reduce water in our processes.
- We innovate towards less water consuming products.
- We install waste water treatment plants in water consuming factories where public sewage is not sufficient to clean waste water.
- We set up ten waste water treatment plants around the world where the quality of the water released into the surface water is better than the water quality of the receptacle.
- We increasingly use ground water coming from rain infiltration as a raw material source when drink water is not required. For example, for technical uses, like for cooling and warming purposes.
