Boosting health and well-being with safe, excellent products

We produce solutions that promote the well-being and health of people. We are committed to ensuring safe products of excellent quality and we apply strict policies and the highest standards in our production processes.

Meeting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals

The focus on Health & Well-being in our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) program ties in directly with the 3rd and 12th of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

SDG 3

Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

We contribute directly to this UN goal with our gelatin- and collagen-based solutions for the food, nutrition, pharmaceutical, and biomedical industries.

SDG 12

Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

In creating value from collagen-rich raw materials, we operate a sustainable production process that aims, consistently and progressively, to do ‘more with less’. Quality is key to ensure safe products and we follow strict production guidelines and comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

Our targets for Health & Well-being

While Health & Well-being are at the heart of our business, we set explicit ESG goals for this area every year. 

Target #1: One health innovation every year

Target #1: One health innovation every year

We aim to do this with at least one health-related innovation every year. These innovations may be new products, new scientific studies or co-development projects achieved with our customers. In recent years, we have developed many new products that contribute to this goal. 

Target #2: Higher quality performance scores across all our sites

Contributing to people’s health and well-being requires flawless quality. With this in mind, we launched our Quality Mindset program in 2019 and we will continue moving forward with this program.
Our motto: “Think, behave, share responsibility and act as one team to consistently ensure quality”. Since 2019, our four regional operations have implemented new actions and tools to reinforce this mindset at all levels of their organization.
