At Group of Butchers, we are determined to lead the way in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices and sustainability within the meat industry. We not only recognize the impact our activities have on the planet and the communities we serve, but we also see it as our duty to make a substantial and measurable positive contribution. Discover our most essential sustainability themes below.

Carbon Footprint Management: Our commitment to the environment is reflected in our goal to achieve the SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) Net Zero target by 2050. We recognize the urgent need to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and are dedicated to various initiatives aimed at significantly reducing our carbon footprint. By applying cutting-edge technologies and implementing the most sustainable practices, we are fully committed to combating climate change and contributing to a greener, livable world.

Plastic Packaging: Our ambition to reduce plastic waste is both bold and necessary. By 2030, we aim to reduce plastic packaging across our entire product range by 25%. Additionally, we are unwavering in our promise to make all our packaging 100% recyclable by that time. We continuously invest in research and development to find and implement sustainable packaging alternatives, with the goal of minimizing environmental impact and accelerating the transition to a circular economy.

Food Safety: Food safety is always our top priority. Our processes are designed to maintain and continuously improve the highest standards. From sourcing to processing, packaging, and distribution, every step is carefully monitored to ensure the safety and health of our consumers. Our commitment to food safety means not only meeting the highest standards but also constantly striving for perfection to strengthen the trust of our customers.

Sustainable Sourcing and Animal Welfare: Responsible sourcing is at the core of our sustainability policy. We work closely with our suppliers to ensure that animal welfare is an undisputed priority. By collaborating with farms committed to the highest ethical and sustainable standards, we ensure that our products are not only of the highest quality but also reflect our deep commitment to animal welfare and environmental stewardship.

Reducing Food Waste and Loss: We recognize that food waste is one of the biggest challenges for both the environment and society. For this reason, we have set ourselves the goal of minimizing food waste and loss in all our processes. Through more efficient processes, optimized supply chains, and close collaboration with charitable organizations, we are working purposefully to reduce waste at every stage of our production. Our commitment to innovation and improvement is unwavering, with the goal of creating a more sustainable and just food system.

Protein Transition: At Group of Butchers, we are committed to the protein transition by investing in research into more sustainable animal proteins and the use of plant-based proteins. We encourage the shift toward alternative protein sources to meet the growing demand from consumers and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Waste Management: We have tightened our waste policy to collect waste more efficiently, find high-quality circular applications, and prevent waste at the source. Our focus is on minimizing waste and promoting a fully circular cycle in our production processes.

Our Employees: The safety and well-being of our employees are at the core of everything we do. At Group of Butchers, we continuously work on improvement initiatives to ensure that our safety standards are not only met but are also continuously improved and optimized. Additionally, we take our responsibility as an employer seriously by investing in the health and well-being of our people. We provide sports facilities, fresh fruit, a healthy work-life balance, and create a work environment where everyone feels valued and supported. A healthy, happy employee means not only a better work environment but also products of unparalleled quality.

Our Governance: Group of Butchers has a vision of continuous growth and expansion, with the implementation of new locations being an ongoing process at the governance, system, and process levels. Our goal is to realize this growth efficiently, transparently, and sustainably. By making data insights accessible and understandable for everyone within the organization, we ensure that our operational processes continue to run smoothly and that we can collectively make informed, data-driven decisions that contribute to our long-term success and leadership in the market.
